Obviously you missed my point, then. The short term sacrifice people make for environmental regulation is a certainty. The long term benefit is highly uncertain. In addition, different people have different standards against which they might measure the long term benefit. That is why environmental regulation isn't so easy in the real world. And why in California, even where you have a general consensus for that kind of regulation, when the short term cost for that regulation comes to light, it doesn't seem like such an easy choice any more. That's why the best solution right now is to let the free market operate. Let the supply/demand curve determine the price of power. That will cure a lot of the waste of power by itself. After that happens, then try and work out a rational power policy that respects the eniviroment.
