I'm all for solar and/or wind if you use your own money to implement your own solution for yours and your family's energy needs. I've never felt more libertarian in reality than when I started to produce most of the power my family consumes. But that was my choice to use my money to make it my way on my property looking the way I wanted it to look. If the government finds an excuse to jack up power costs on everybody else to save us from too much CO2 in a world where they're trying to have more CO2 consuming plants anyway to keep the north pole from melting in 10 years like we've been worried about for 30 years so that global warming quits causing so many blizzards or whatever blah blah blah they come up with ... it won't hardly affect me because I don't buy much from the grid anyway. But I'll be against them forcing you to pay to avoid their fantasy dystopia.
One bizarre element of the leftist’s fantasy is they insist that seas are rising and will flood coastal properties.
Then they buy coastal properties and complain that wind farms shouldn’t be built to block their view!
“trying to have more CO2 consuming plants anyway to keep the north pole from melting”
As the earth warms (regardless of why) plant growth is enhanced and so more CO2 is consumed by plants and they exhale more oxygen. Warming will cause areas that previously supported little or no plant life to have more plant life. Nature has a self-correcting balance between CO2 and oxygen in our atmosphere.
Fossil fuels come from plant material. The plants produce solid compounds that contain carbon captured from the atmosphere (from CO2) and from their roots. When the plant material (fossil fuel) is burned, each carbon atom is happily re-paired with oxygen atoms, releasing heat and gasses including CO2. Plants merely give off the CO2 that they originally took in.
