Arizona Bill Calls Nuclear Power “Renewable” !!

Solar Industry Fights Arizona Bill That Favors Nuclear, Hydro · Environmental Leader, 24 Feb 2010  Solar City, Kyocera Solar and Suntech Power Holdings, together with other solar energy providers, are opposed to Arizona House Bill 2701 (HB 2701) stating it would jeopardize Arizona’s renewable energy industry by allowing nuclear and hydroelectric power to meet RES requirements and by setting up a more burdensome regulatory scheme.

HB 2701 would replace the existing Renewable Energy Standard (RES) in Arizona, allowing utilities to use existing nuclear and hydroelectric power to meet the RES requirements, and eliminating distributed generation requirements and any interim requirements between now and 2025, according to the group.The bill also calls for a “double regulation” scheme for solar companies and utilities, replacing the current system of regulation by the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) with an approach that includes the Arizona State Legislature together with the ACC. If the bill passes, Arizona will have more government regulation of solar companies and utilities than any other state, according to the group.
