our short term economic outlook
should not be the only part of the equation... to ignore the environment is a very, very big mistake. Not only would it ruin our economy
longer term, but it will indeed kill our planet, whether the right wants to believe it or not.


You know this for a fact? The way things work we are not given a choice because of these subsidies. People that want to use solar or geothermal should pay the real costs. The fears of ruin are not nearly proven and are not gospel. Technology is always in the wings to allow quantum leaps in computing but ....not in nuclear disposal or clean-coal power? What is "clean" about computers? Estimates are $500 million to $1 billion to re-cycle old computers (HP's program charges $30 a unit) in CA alone in the near future. We fear the environmental "priesthood" Individual choice should drive the market. Individuals are capable of determining the trade-offs in the marketplace if supplied with factual information. This will avoid the nuclear "priesthood" also.
