Green Power may destabilize grid

[Tom Azlin N4ZPT]

Agree. Though seems I remember that when states deregulated the power 
industry they seemed to have the idea was there was money to be made in 
the network separate from generation.  So power companies were trying to 
unload generation and keep the transmission.

to answer your question, no one will make the investment until the grid 
completely falls apart and we have local blackouts all Summer long.

And on the transshipping of power, how does Virginia Power get green 
power if they do not buy it from wind farms or such?

73, Tom n4zpt
