I considered that but came up with another idea. An energy credit card. Each US citizen would have a certain energy credit based on their location. The credit card would be attached to the persons property and they would pay for their household oil/gas and electric with the card and they would also pay for their gasoline and airline tickets with the card. Customers would have a baseline energy price but if they used more than their allotment then the price for energy would go up. This would encourage people to conserve but would allow them to choose how they conserved.

How about requiring anyone with a home over 5,000 square feet to include solar and/or wind power but not rely on it totally? Let’s face it, if the wind dies down and the sun goes behind the clouds it’s going to make generating power next to impossible. Besides, is it fair to make some of the people rely completely on solar and wind when people in smaller homes can rely completely on conventional power sources? I’m all for incentives that will help the environment, but your plan seems to be directed at punishing the rich.

I am still waiting to hear about the Global Cooling I was promised in the 80’s.

Global warming is a crock.

i hate the idea. it’s not my business how my neighbor chooses to live. I don’t care how they spend their money. I don’t care how much they spend on energy or anything else.

no - I get your point - trying to back the chicken little crowd into a corner. I just don’t it’s all that clever.

Ok, but at the same time we need to solve the global dimming issue aswell

Global Warming doesn’t exist. It’s been proved that the earth goes through warming and cool cycles. Al Gore Wants you to believe in Global Warming because He has big money invested in his Carbon Offset company.
