I'm not going to pay for the government to screw up renewable power.

32% of people are only willing to pay $10 per month.
Let them pay it.

Actual real world 100% renewable power (likely backed up and made possible by fossile fuel) costs $100 more per month.
I bet the number willing to pay $100 is far lower than 32%.

According to a Forbes article from 2015 on average people will only accept a 5% increase on their power bill to "fix global warming".

Yeah a lot of people believe in man made climate change, but only a few believe in paying for it. Oh the irony.

Just incase the useful idiots ridiculous new green deal passes I want to insulate my self from the stupidity as much as possible.
They want additional taxes on electricity, motor fuel, home heating, water, everything. The only thing green about it is all the money the government confiscates.
My answer to that is solar panels, electric and hybrid vehicles, fire wood and coal heating, use the well I already have.
