OT - >> ....consumers pay for energy in a relatively direct proportion to their usage. <<

True to a point, but most industries only include finding costs. Disposal costs, clean up, polution effects and other long term costs pretty much get put in the category of "someone else's problem".

If we factored in all the costs I'm sure energy prices would be much higher, but we can always let our children worry about that issue.

The US should tax energy on a higher basis similar to the EU imho, but we certainly can't do it now. Of course as a former owner of the stocks you'd never catch me saying that.

Sorry to get sidetracked. Compared to the internet there is very much a direct correlation.
