Jamesqf asked:

“…how do you expect to reduce CO2 output without somehow making it more expensive?”

Dave says:
If non-CO2 emitting sources were in place, I’d agree. But at very best, we are fifteen years from seeing any real alternatives in place, so all the taxation and regulation simply causes people to pay more taxes for no return at all. I would have no problem with CO2 regulation and taxation AFTER adequate substitutes were in place and operational.

“…electric production will begin at home.”


Dave says:
I suspect you will find out what biodiesel homebrewers are finding out. Government will view anyone not paying their taxes will be considered as moonshiners.
