Rates will more likely be affected by the price of coal than by the requirement to sequester CO2. There may even be profit in sequestration. The 20% wind goal is consistent with the fossil fuel replacement plan. The Guv's response was not at all knee jerk. It was a well considered compromise that allows the project. Marie,

She would be clever to be proactive about wind and conservation, without being destructive to the economy. That doesn't appear to be the case. Her knee-jerk response to coal will discredit her objectives.
