More Democrat Stupidity In Carson City

From the LVRJ: For the second straight legislative session, lawmakers have proposed a bill that would shade the terms of renewable companies' utility sales agreements, including price per kilowatt hour, from the scrutiny of ratepayers who cover the costs through their power bills.
Senate Bill 123, which revises regulations designed to encourage use of renewables, has a section that would prohibit the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada from disclosing "any information" concerning a contract, lease or agreement between a utility and the provider of green power. The law would make power-purchase deals "proprietary" and classify their information as "a trade secret" unless the utility and provider agree to publicize the terms.
It's not clear who requested the rule's inclusion in SB123, but similar language in an ill-fated 2011 bill came from solar, geothermal and wind companies in Northern Nevada, then-Sen. Mike Schneider, D-Las Vegas, said at the time.
When asked who sought the latest confidentiality clause and how it would benefit ratepayers, SB123's sponsor, Sen. Kelvin Atkinson, D-North Las Vegas, said the rule comes from last session's Assembly Bill 416, which Gov. Brian Sandoval vetoed. Atkinson added that the Senate will schedule working groups "pretty soon to hammer out the particulars of SB123."

Of course the alternative energy crackpots/producers don't want people know how much it takes to produce the electricity and they don't want the public and the rate payers to know more expensive alternative energy costs.  And the Democrats, not known for transparency, just ask Obama, are supporting this crap.
The public and rate payers have every right to know what and how much they pay for electricity, be it from a coal fired plant or from an alternative energy source, but the Democrats don't want you to know that.
