I the wake of the recent "rolling black outs" here in Texas it occurs to me that there is another simple way to avoid them and maybe increase our employment numbers to boot.
We start by encouraging the electric companies to build more sub-stations and power plants with incentives for them to do so, i.e. tax incentives for the length of say 10 or 20 years and relaxing some of the more idiotic EPA rules so that the construction could begin post-hast. This would in turn put people to work causing an economic boost to communities across the state. What would this get us?
1. More power to service the people of Texas.
2. Make our state more energy independent. (Another cost savings)
3. Increase Employment - more money in the hands of consumers
4. Increase economic stability of surrounding businesses -because of above.
Not bad for a couples of sentences huh? Best of all, the only governmental involvement is the temporary abeyance of tax collection. I know this is a little simplistic maybe, but I think it will work don't you?
