My Email To Mr. Huffman's Staff

Jenny and Charles


I have asked the staff of the CPUC to investigate whether PG&E is Greenwashing when they  (PG&E) claim that they only emit 393 pounds of CO2 per megawatt hour for the enrgy they supply to us in Marin.  See the table in the link below

If the CPUC staff agree that PG&E is indeed so green, I have no clue why I am paying for the SGIP that Bloom Energy pocketed?   As you know the Bloom Boxes emit 884 pounds of CO2 per megawatt hour (Delaware Permit Data).  This is 225% of the 393 pounds that PG&E claims  they emit.

Actually I have a clue why I am paying the SGIP to Bloom it was Crony Politics.


I shall inform you if indeed the CPUC agrees that Bloom Boxes that extracted or will extract over a quarter of a billion dollars of SGIP mone are 2.25 times as DIRTY as the grid. 

Does the Congressman wish to discuss all of this in a phone call or a face to face meeting?  After all he worked for the NRDC before becoming a politician.

I am sure the NRDC will love to hear the data on how a gangrene technology that Al Gore, John Doerr and Colin Powell profit from garnered so much SGIP (utility customers) money. 

I am still available at anytime between the hours of 7 am till 10 pm Monday through Sunday to assist my Green Congressman in understanding the basics of thermodynamics and economics.  A short lesson today.  If power from the Bloom box costs $220 per megawatt hour (Delaware data) and it emits 884 pounds per megawatt hour (Delaware data) and power from a combined cycle power station using the very same natural gas costs $70 per megawatt hour and only emits 730 pounds of CO2 per megawatt hour, what is the marginal cost of the avoided CO2 for the Bloom Box that was given or will be given a quarter of a billion dollars under the SGIP?


The answer is the marginal cost is infinite as the Bloom Box emits more CO2 and the energy costs more.   The Green Europeans only pay about $5 per ton for their CO2 emissions under CAP and TRADE.

You see that while Mr. Huffman was an Assemblyman he should have just given us CAP and Trade indexed to the European value and we would not be paying an infinite amount per ton of CO2 "avoided" by the Bloom Is Off The Rose Box.

I guess the 4,309 folks who like him on Facebook are clueless about this simple fact but the 1 person who actually knows the truth is blocked from speaking the truth.   So much for Mr. Huffman's desire to protect my civil liberties.  Is freedom of speech in a public forum not one of these civil liberties?????

Jared Huffman shared a link. 9 hours ago Co-sponsoring this bill is the first of several actions I'll be taking in Congress to better protect our civil liberties and privacy. Bringing greater transparency and accountability to FISA courts is an important part of what needs to be done. http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2013/07/lawmaker-wants-fisa-court-judges-confirmed-in-senate-168576.html
