"But this is not only good business, it is far less costly to adapt then to kill our economy by not burning fossil fuels."

True. Nevertheless, I'm concerned about some in the bizness community who seek to harness the coercive powers of government to secure a captive market.

There is a myth that bizness people love the free market and thrive on competion. Nonsense. The vast majority of biznessmen abhor a free market, and will do anything to thwart it. And big gov't is one of their most important allies in achieving this objective.

When big gov't and big bizness get together - look out!

I will second this comment, the easiest way to wealth in this country is to get an invention and then get the government to require the people to use it. Of course, the market is still the best system we have, even though the above comments are true. You see, there is no reasonable alternative.
