STOP the ENERGY WASTE ! Our cultural energy waste is horrendous and tragic, thou easily FIXABLE ! America continues to waste over 70% of the energy it consumes. The Energy Waste is Everywhere ! (1) 100's of millions of outdoor lights burn during the day. (2) We over heat and over cool our homes, businesses, offices, schools, churches, etc... (3) Over packaging is the norm. Recycling is inadequate . Our landfills are busier than ever. (4) Most Americans do not minimize their driving. Congestion is horrendous. (5) Road construction in America is the ultimate contradiction. The only way to eliminate energy waste and over demand is by using the economic impact of taxing energy, in lieu of Federal Income Tax. Until the price of gas is $6 to $8 per gallon, hedonist America will not significantly reduce its over consumption and energy waste. Federal Gas Tax should be $4 to $6 per gallon and 'offset' by making Federal Income Tax begin at $60k. Only with a tangible/dollar reward will America care to conserve. High energy costs are the only incentive by which renewable alternative energy supply will be developed. In the mean time, the USA continues to give away its economic and political wealth to the Middle East via OPEC, just so we can continue our energy waste. Know that the Islamic dominated OPEC cartel is glad to allow supply and demand market forces to drive energy prices to $8/gallon. China, India, and other 'developing countries' have just begun to compete for the world's remaining energy supply. Geopolitical unrest is directly related to global competition for energy and natural resources. If global demand for energy is not dramatically reduced, World war is inevitable. Ford and General Motors are bankrupt, which will cause 100,000,000 Americans unemployed, ruin our economy, and lead to anarchy. Ford and GM must quickly transition to the lucrative business of building solar and wind 'energy producers' for the world's 6.7 BILLION people reason$. The world cannot continue to support all the automakers. We are running out of petroleum. America can no longer continue to 'do business as usual'. Wake up ! Mass transit must reward those who reduce their driving and thereby become FREE, SAFE, CLEAN, and CONVENIENT. The incentive necessary to create a renewable and sustainable energy supply, will only occur when we implement the economics of TAXING ENERGY - NOT INCOME! |

America Continues to Waste over 70% of the Energy it Consumes. Our hedonist energy waste is culturally pervasive, and abominable ! (1) 100's of millions of lights burn unnecessary during the day and night. (2) We over heat and over cool our homes, businesses, offices, schools, churches, etc... (government buildings waste the most). (3) Recycling is inadequate, over packaging is the norm, our landfills are busier than ever. (Plastics are the ultimate polluter). (4) Most Americans do not minimize their driving; road congestion is horrendous. (5) America's incessant obsession with road construction is the ultimate contradiction. The only way to eliminate over demand and energy waste is by using the economic impact of taxing energy. Crude oil must be taxed at $200 per barrel(55 gal) and 'offset' by making Federal Income Tax begin at $60k. Only with a substantial and tangible dollar reward/consequence, will Americans care to conserve. Until the price of gas is $6 to $8 per gallon, Americans will not reduce their over consumption and energy waste. In the mean time, the USA continues its hedonist energy waste and gives away its economic and political wealth to the Middle East via OPEC. Know that Islamic dominated OPEC is glad to allow supply and demand market forces to drive energy prices to $8/gallon. Ford and General Motors are almost bankrupt, yet continue to do business as usual. The world cannot continue to support all the automakers. We are running out of petroleum ! Both must quickly transition to the lucrative business of building solar and wind 'energy producers' for the world's 6.7 BILLION people reason$. Failure to innovate industry away from energy consumption to energy production will cause 100,000,000 Americans unemployed, ruin our economy, and lead to anarchy. Mass transit must become FREE, SAFE, CLEAN, and CONVENIENT, thereby rewarding those who reduce their driving. China, India, and other 'developing countries' have just begun to compete for the world's remaining fossil fuel. If global demand for energy is not dramatically reduced, World War is inevitable. (Geopolitical unrest is directly related to global competition for energy and natural resources.) Global warming continues to increases with our persistent waste and overuse of fossil fuels. The incentives necessary to create sustainable and renewable energy supplies can ONLY occur when we implement the economics of TAXING ENERGY. -- CONSERVATION: The Best Alternative Energy Source |
