Saunders notes that last week the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission concluded that proposed giant turbines placed under the Golden Gate Bridge would generate power from the bay’s tidal flow at a cost of 80 cents to $1.40 per kilowatt hour. San Francisco’s utility, Pacific Gas and Electric currently charges 12 cents per hour.
Faced with these facts, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom told reporters: “I don’t care about the arguments against it. I care about the arguments for it. It’s a question of subjectivity. If you’re opposed to (the idea of tidal power) or want to oppose it, you’re going to find reasons not to do it. If you’re for it and you believe it’s something that should be done and can be done, then you’re going to find a way to make it happen.”
How do people this frigging stupid make it that high in public office. Peter's Principle is off by a few factors of elevation when it comes to elected office it seems.
