The great thing about walking is that it uses much less fossil fuels, and you can carry along a bag and look for bottles and cans as well. We'll use a lot less fossil fuel in the winter too huddling in our tar paper shacks along the interstate overpass. See, the future isn't so bleak after all!

Don't worry, I was just at a town meeting with some TPTB Boob who said we are undergoing a MASSIVE TECHNOLOGY REVOLUTION where...
1. You don't own a car/truck.
2. There is no government
3. There is no education system
4. There is no healthcare.
5. Ponzi Schemes (Bitcoin) replace official government fiat Ponzi Scheme.
6. There is no such thing as affordable housing
7. etc etc etc.
In other words, algebra (Quantum Mechanics read useless Solar Cell and e-gizmo) will set you free. Meanwhile The Failed Physicists cannot even determine what is real after 100 years of Quantum Mechanics.

They could just say: "You"re BANKRUPT with a net value < 0".
But no, Its a TECHNOLOGY REVOLUTION.
Feel better Revi?

Who exactly is this "we" that would readily accept a huge increase in the price of a commodity that we consume very disproportionally to our percent of the global population? You're certainly free to speak for any group you wish. But you need to clarify whose mouths you're putting those words into. Especially if you're implying they represent anything close to a majority. Otherwise you're just speaking for just one lonely voice in the wilderness.

Make that two lonely voices.... Of course I believe if you have ANY taxes, they should at least be consumption taxes.

This will enable them to keep much of their hardware by putting it to work in renewable-energy-friendly fashion.
