I have to wonder why the government HAS to be involved in the process..?.
Isn't it possible that green tech companies can come up with products
that will be profitable, without the nanny state sticking their noses into it??
Maybe if they were a little less T-Rex about their intrusions..?.
Like this idea:
If cities and towns all over north America told their citizens they could
pay their property taxes & water bills with energy credits earned from the local power company.
IF the homeowners had installed PV or wind.
If the city got more kwh credits than it could use, they could give some
to the poor, (removing the cash equivalent from their 'entitlement' checks).
With all the schools in my little town and all the city buildings with all their incandescent etc etc..
City workers don't give a dam about saving taxpayers money.
They aren't interested in turning off the lights or AC when they go home.
I'll bet our city electric bill is
massive!
It would be nice if we didn't have to give all that cash away every month..
(I'll bet 30% goes to Canada)!
