It may seem naive but I think the feds should spend their money buying equity in both large scale wind projects and de-centralized roof top solar schemes. They have the check book power right now, when it's needed, and the long term revenue will boost federal coffers for ever, cutting the need for some future taxes.
I know that socialism is a dirty word at many parties, but I am a small scale manufacturer and a huge supporter of energy revenue for governing bodies. Why freely give money or incentives to private industry when states and the feds need revenue desperately. Private industry will find new ways to profit of our needs and state (or locally) owned utilities are part of what helped build our nation into the greatness it is about to fall from. This will solve the lack of viable credit markets, put teeth in any generation standards they agree to, help fund our national security, and help restore faith in our federal government's ability to meet public demand!
And yes please give me carbon tax, at the meter, at the pump, and especially at the stationary points of emission, and make it a stiff one, we need the money and the incentive. While you're at it, why not invest all the revenue into owning more generation and transmission capacity and make our government rich again!
It sucks to be governed 4 sure, but at least we could be governed by responsible stewards that own equity in major revenue generating infrastructures and follow a simple set of principles that steer our policies...oh yeah, that's the constitution...
What ever happened to that thing anyway?
Here's an updated set of principles that could be used for a strategic plan to get back to the business of having fun around here permaculture's guiding principles scroll down and read on. They are very bsic common sense principles that anyone making a profit will relate too...
Love you
