Don’t get too happy. With all their focus groups and data bases they know where the tipping points are. And when green energy hits there will be breaks and exemptions and programs that will make sure that you and me pay some one elses share of the cost (for a lie that will not solve anything, of coarse).

“...and programs that will make sure that you and me pay some one elses share of the cost (for a lie that will not solve anything, of coarse).”

We just got some letter from our power company introducing their new “Green Power Program”.

For just....about $12/month more, you’ll ensure additional renewewable energy is produced. Increasing the amount of renewable energy in the power pool will reduce emissions...”

So - for $12/month more I can feel good about myself that somewhere, somehow, someone put up a solar panel!?

I’m guessing that this “Green Power Program”, when they figure out that volunteering doesn’t quite cut it, it will become mandatory, and give it some fancy name like Green Realization And Benefits. (GRAB for short.)
