That is a very big part of it yes. But, I think that politics as well as greed from the utility companies have a role as well... Am I foolish for thinking that we just have to drill for our own gas and things would turn around? I have told my son that to just cut out fossil fuels with out a back up plan is just crazy.. Implement the plan THEN make changes. We are not saving our climate by not drilling in the US and then buying our gas from other countries...
I don’t think you are foolish at all. My opinion is that our government is ,whether with malice or through poorly conceived good intentions, implementing policies that will create a new serf class.
