Eight dollars a year in extra energy charges might not seem like much, but it has raised the ire of a small group of critics, led by the conservative public policy group, The Caesar Rodney Institute.
The organization has been a persistent critic of Delaware’s mandate that requires utilities to use alternative energy sources to provide a portion of electric power that goes to homes and businesses.
The institute claims the requirement leads to high electric rates that drive away business and hurt the poor, offsetting the benefits of manufacturing jobs created by Bloom. – Essay by Doug Rainey

Nice post on the Bloom Energy hearing. We would like to remind all readers although the Caesar Rodney Institute’s free-market and limited government philosophy has support from many conservatives, we are not a conservative think tank. We have support from libertarians, independents, and some Democrats. We are not aligned with any particular group of people or organizations, so long as they are committed to free-market economics, smart energy policies, and school choice. Thank you for reading this.
