Tea Party regulations harming SC business; Most hypocrisy EVER???

[JakeStarkey]

Sure, raising insurance premiums on employers twofold via Obamacare isn't harming business. Hypocrite much?

Tu quoque does not excuse SC corporatism. Tea Party fascism controlling state functions to benefit business, which donates to the Tea Party fascist organization. Hitler and Mussoline would understand this easily. We would expect this of Democratic administratons, not Republican ones.

Regardless of this, whomever is imposing unnecessary regs, I'm against.

It's unclear to me if this is wholly 'unnecessary'. It may be 100% protectionist but the case has yet to be made to my satisfaction.

Whatever the situation, it's the current law and the remedy is clear.

That is fucking nuts but its the same with Organic Fruits and Vegatables. For some reason the govt requires them to label that they are organic and the feds check...no prob

But then they will fight tooth and nail not to reveal what products have GMO's in them. Why? Because the GMO's make more money than organic farmers and they spread the money to you favorite pol.

Tea Party regulations harming SC business; Most hypocrisy EVER???

- The Tea Party/Republican Party whines and preaches against "Regulations" that harm business

The Tea Party/Republican Party is literally using regulations to pick winners/losers in private business. Unfortunately for Furman University (my alma mater btw), the huge power companies have more lobbying money than they do.

From your link:

State rules cap the amount of solar energy allowed in South Carolina at 100 kilowatts for non-residential customers, a standard that is tighter than many states, including Florida and North Carolina. The limit, set about five years ago, applies to those who use a combination of sun power and energy from local utilities, which is virtually every solar user in South Carolina.

Now....simple subtraction. 2013 - 5 = 2008. There was NO TEA PARTY IN 2008.

It also appears that the university is free to go off the grid and power their leftwad paradise in any fashion they please. Why don't they do that?

Because solar power is not reliable enough to use as the only source of power for a large university?

GREENVILLE: SC’s solar power policy thwarts Furman’s green efforts | Politics | The State

Ok, here is a summary of the situation:

- Private Furman University put up solar panels
- They could eventually become 100% energy independent
- The Tea Party Queen Nikki Haley and the GOP dominate SC politics

- SCE&G and Duke Power are PRIVATE energy companies that dominate South Carolina
- SC has the highest electricity rates in the entire South, some of highest in USA
- SCE&G and Duke have paid out billions to their shareholders, again, they are private companies and they keep requesting rate hikes

- The Tea Party/Republican Party whines and preaches against "Regulations" that harm business
- The state has a LIMIT on how much solar power a business can have
- Yes, you read right, a LIMIT on how much solar power a business can have

WHY???? Because lobbyists from the two private power companies begged for it. See, if places like privately run Furman University start using solar to power their buildings...........shareholders and CEO's at these two power companies lose money.

HYPOCRISY at its worst ever. The RW preaches against solar power and how ineffective it is. But, then they pass laws that limit how much solar a private business can use, beccause GOD FORBID they become energy independent and hurt the payouts the power company makes to its shareholders.

Absolutely disgusting. How one could ever vote GOP again baffles me.

They are covering costs to build their new Nuke plants the first ones built in the US in 30 years. You liberals wanted us of of fossil fuel right?

South Carolina wants a nuclear power plant? They can have San Onofre....we aren't using it anymore.

Just noticed that. Had nothing to do with the tea party. Regardless of this, whomever is imposing unnecessary regs, I'm against.

There might actually be a good reason behind it. Utilities are required to buy back electricity at retail rates. California is seeing quite a few utilities complaining about this, and arguing that it drives up rates for other users because they are forced to pay more for the electricity, even if they neither want, or need, it. The solution to this is to stop demanding the utilities subsidize customers who chose not to buy their products, not limiting the ability of customers to buy less electricity.

It has already been proven this had nothing to do with the Tea Party, it was actually main stream Republicans that passed it. That makes it the people you personally associate with, not the extremest you hate, that you are ranting against.

The power companies are public utilities even if privately owned. They still come under the rules and regulations covering public utilities.

I read the whole article and didn't see "tea party" mentioned one time.
