Debunking fuel conservation myths...

[bkrownd]

Future electricity costs will be jacked up but it will have little to do with taxes. Fossil fuel costs will increase, and replacing fossil fuels with more sensible energy generation methods will be even more expensive. The era of artificially cheap energy will soon come to an end, so get ready for it.

There's more than enough fossil fuels to last another century and probably a lot longer even without conservation. Don't let environmentalists tell you different.

If Obama passes Cap and Trade, then yeah, taxes will be the bulk of cost. Direct quote from Obama: " Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electric rates will necessarily sky rocket".

Thanks Mr. President.

We must be patient with the cool-aide drinkers. They've been propagandized all of their short lives and few if any have the technical background to sort the wheat from the chafe when it comes to science climate or any other. No bones about it, it is a run of the mill concentration of power, wealth extraction scheme nothing more (cap and tax that is or what ever the heck they try to re-brand it as this next time).

You don't get my drift. The cost will go up because the pollution and damage that fossil fuels cause won't be tolerated in such volumes in the future. The supply will be diminished, and the price will rise. There will be consumption/emissions taxes, as well. Just like cigarette taxes, it should help us kick a bad habit. It's about time! Don't let the irresponsible "conservatives" tell you different.

Hi bkrownd, You forgot to place the "neo" in front of the "conservatives". Let me fix for you...

Don't let the irresponsible "neo-conservatives" tell you different.

Much better...
