L.A. Mayor Villaraigosa considers a carbon [swindle] surcharge for DWP customers - latimes.com
While Villaraigosa has been talking publicly about the need for the city to tighten its belt, his advisors have been working behind the scenes to gauge public support for a monthly DWP "carbon surcharge" of $2.50 -- one that would move the utility away from coal and toward wind, solar and geothermal sources of energy.

On Friday, a city-hired consulting firm released a report on the DWP's existing surcharge, known as the Energy Cost Adjustment Factor.
Western North Carolina’s largest solar array is now online | Blogwire | Mountain Xpress
This solar PV array project created five new jobs and is expected to generate approximately 730,000 kilowatt-hours every year. This is roughly equivalent to the annual electricity demand from 51 average North Carolina homes. This will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 525 tons per year  ["worth" $52.50 on the Chicago Climate Exchange!], which is the equivalent of removing 100 vehicles from the roads in Western North Carolina.

Do it soon - before disgraced climate scientists drag you down with them.
