Delaware and Bloom in Bed Together

!  I have been reading several
opinion pieces about the State of Delaware’s attempt to force Bloom deal down
our throats.  In case you did not know
Delaware has changed the definition of renewable energy to included natural
gas.  As geology minor, in college, I can
say with some authority that natural gas is a fossil fuel.

 

The problem is twofold.  First the state a declared that 25% of our
electricity has to be from renewable sources in the near future.  The second is jobs. Unfortunately, the powers
in Delaware decided to alter their own take on renewable.

 

Bloom makes a new type of electrical generation
equipment that is cutting edge TODAY, but is still powered by natural gas.  Delaware wants to lure them to manufacture
here.  That is OK, give them some
incentives. The deal that is shaping up is just dumb.  Bloom wants a 20+ year contract with Delmarva
Power to supply electricity to them under the guise of renewable energy.  This will help Delmarva Power meet their 25%
renewable requirement and allow Bloom to move and hire people in Delaware.  HOW SWEET IT IS!  It is just great except Delmarva Power
customers have to pay above market rates for this ”Renewable Energy”, for the
next 20+ years.

 

Stop this madness now.
