Oregon is a renewable welfare state, in the worst recession in the history of the United States Oregon is going to increase the size of government and bureacracy all to rape the taxpayers of the entire United States.
On top of this Oregon is taxing existing industry to give subsidies and grants to "renewable energy".
For Oregon, lobbying and taking our tax money from the Obama White house is not enough,
For Oregon giving tax breaks to Renewable Energy is not enough.
For Oregon taxing fossil fuel is not enough
For Oregon passing rules, laws, and regulations mandating Renewable energy is not enough.
Oregon is mandating through law higher electrical rates for consumers.
Not even all this is enough, environmental studies are waved, EPA regulations are waived, all so Renewable energy can make the rich, richer.
Thanks Old Crock.
What is real funny is this website calls itself sustainable, sustaining itself out of my pocket.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced Thursday that the Department of Energy is awarding nearly $100 million for 54 smart grid workforce training programs, including $2.5 million for the Oregon Institute of Technologys renewable energy engineering program.
The money will go toward strengthening OITs bachelors program and adding a masters program in the renewable energy engineering discipline, and enhancing hands-on opportunities for students in areas such as power-system modeling and analysis, distributed power systems, power conditioning and utility-focused energy storage.
The OIT program falls under the Department of Energys workforce training initiative for the electric power sector, which received $41.6 million of the stimulus funding announced Thursday. Smart grid workforce training received $57.7 million.
Oregon Institute of Technology is based in Klamath Falls but its renewable energy engineering program got its start at the university's Portland-area campus.
The stimulus grant will allow the university to hire five additional faculty three in Portland and two in Klamath Falls. The grant will also fund five power labs and a part-time coordinato
