You Can't Plug That In — vs. If I Pay For the Electricity I Can Do Anything I Want With It!

SEE HERE WTF—Over! It's time to consider shutting down the Department of Energy and all the other "full of themselves" departments that issue arbitrary regulations at the drop of a pen. Who gives them the right to tell me what I can do with the energy I buy and pay for? This is all the same kind of bogus stuff that the Green crowd has been trumpeting. The problem is that most of it just isn't even true and where there is some truth to it, it's out of all perspective. CO2 is not a pollutant for example. Recycling is mostly a fad. It's expensive and except for maybe aluminum not only doesn't pay for itself but in some cases like paper recycling is actually somewhat more damaging to the environment then just burning or burying the stuff. Trees? It doesn't save trees. The trees are being planted to yield paper in the first place. The nuts are loose in the asylum making baseless claims to seize control of your life. Tell them to buzz off!

Now I'm the first to support real stewardship of the environment. We should not pollute and we should make sure that when we do we clean up. But that's not an excuse to make things up to get regulations passed and impose controls. It's mostly just trendy BS that has been rattling around for decades.
