Well I suppose if the kiddies aren't mature enough and responsible enough to do even the bare minimum necessary to save their own planet, then nanny is gonna have to grab them by their little ears and drag them kicking and screaming. And this IS no less than about saving our planet, so you'd better get used to the idea. |
You completely ignore the fact that simple economics will take care of the problem by itself.

Really? You did? And without a government forcing you to... imagine that... And yet you argue that other people need to be forced...

Quote by: Cephus No, it's called CAPACITY. The generating plants can only produce a certain amount of power and when use exceeds that capacity, you get blackouts. It happens almost every summer around here, everyone has their air conditioners on and need exceeds supply. Raising rates (which they do, BTW) doesn't stop people from using the supply any more than raising the price of gasoline has stopped people from using it. |
You lack a basic understanding of the
immutable law of supply and demand. When you have passed a basic economics course, come back and adjust your position accordingly.
