Right now I'm using no fossil fuel whatsoever to heat my home this evening. Just threw another big log on the fire. All nice and toasty without burning a bit of electricity, gas or oil. Do you harvest the wood from your own property? Here and from neighbors property with their full permission. Doesn't really make any difference as long as it's done legally. How many acres of woodlot do you and your neighbor have? How many cords due you use per year? In all seriousness, I live on a 200 acre wooded lot. Haven't had to cut down a tree in years. For no other reason than I'm lazy, the trees I cut and split are already on the ground from storms or whatever natural event. So I'm not killing **** other than a few cockroaches and termites. Of course the older rotten trees lie where they are. The ones I get are typically already well seasoned as I find what has come down from the last years winter so they burn good. And quite a bit of my firewood comes from large limbs that have broken and fallen. Often I find limbs that are 4 to 6 inches in diameter so all I have to do is cut them up into sections and don't have to split anything. So I have supplemental heat as well as clear paths to use for hunting. Right now I have enough deer in the freezer to last until next season, around 800 pounds. Oh yeah, and one turkey that my nephew hit when he missed a deer he was shooting at. Go figure. Almost forgot, I go through up to 6 cords per typical winter and as few as 3 depending on how bad or mild it is. I only have a fire going for a few hours at night and all day on the weekends and holidays. Not a big fan of leaving a fire going when at work or asleep. So all we need to do is find 200 acres of wooded land for each family, so that they can all stop using fossil fuel to keep warm in the winter! A global population of about 200 million max would be ideal. So why are you still here? |

If by science you mean all of that AGW stuff, we get enough of that from the media. Were the world to have a population of only 200 million people, we might expect the following: Iowa, population = 88,000 US, population = 9,000,000 NYC, population = 530,000 (metro) China, population = 39,000,000 If Iowa is too crowded for you why don't you move to Wyoming, Alaska or even Siberia? |

The government cannot 'stimulate demand', they can only manipulate production. If people don't want CFLs, they don't. Only by subsidising CFLs and artificially driving the price down will more people buy them, but only because the supply has been manipulated by government interference in the market. *'Growth' is supply, not demand. *And this goverment stimulated 'growth' can only be accomplished by destroying something else. People want and purchase what is locally useful to them. Because they are in competition with others around them, it isn't easy to be self-sacrificing and voluntarily use a more expensive carbon- free way to power your car if other people are not doing so. Thus, not many people will do it, absent government interference. Purchasing choices have costs that don't show up in the price tag. These are called "externalities", and internalizing the externalities, so that the results of millions of individual choices that make sense directly for the individuals involved aren't destructive for everyone, is part of the proper job of government.
