    I have no viable choice. I go to the grocery store (as 99.9999% of people do) and buy my food.

    This line of conversation is really not particularly relevant to the topic in the OP.

    Please adjust accordingly.

    The title of this thread is an oxymoron.

    On the complaint lefty crap is subsidizing electricity to be more environmentally friendly... well it has to do with policies about climate change. But the principle of being against subsidizing is bunk, because the farm products we all buy every day is subsidized.

    Why doesn’t the government subsidize everything and pay a 60% tax rate on $60,000 income like they do in Denmark ???

    That’s what Bernie wants. He and Pocahontas are champions of Scandinavian socialism.

    It has to do with government subsidies on green energy which makes neighbors pay for solar panel owners electric bills resulting in higher energy prices which are regressive for low income earners. Thanks Bernie.

    You claimed previously "subsidize everything"... dunno what that has to do with climate change.
    I also don't see how electric bills go up with solar panels.

    Duplication of capital equipment electrical energy capacity results in higher energy prices. California has the highest rates in the US. Germany’s citizens pay 3X what we pay in the US. ECON 101.

    source it

    Over 50% of the electricity bill in Germany has to do with taxes.

    Econ 101 and common sense. Double the equipment increases the price of energy due to depreciation costs. BTW solar panels should be replaced every 20 years. The old panels are hazardous waste.

    Taxes to pay for their duplicate capital equipment.

    They get things in return, like healthcare.
    You aware that healthcare in the US is the most expensive.

    Not from energy taxes. The middle class in Europe is taxed at very high rates to pay for all the free stuff.

    A cool warming climate is good for the fun apocalypse, the common good horror that wipes the planet clean of the greatest president’s blackened White House, by convincing people bad (socialism) is good (for saving the planet) in a biblical way. The models are getting future projections right, where right bad and bad good, “Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust.”

    How can anyone claim that the models are "getting future projections right" ?? That's an oxymoron.

    No, but perhaps reading the article would help.

    The upper class is taxed very high in Europe. And nothing is for free, except the sun... hence solar panels.

    I don't have a fireplace. I may invest in having a gas fireplace put in. I have natural gas. I would LOVE a wood burning though.
