That and steal hundreds of billions from us in taxes at gunpoint to “invest” in their utopian unicorn dreams. That never gets accounted for in retail price of the green toys.
We just remodeled our kitchen and were forced by the local government to spend about $3,000 on LED recessed lights we didn’t want or need. Conventional fixtures would have run way under $1,000.
It is tough in the beginning to pay for the LED’s. Just watch your light bill go way down. Also LED’s last a long time.
Some of the government idiots become useful idiots without realizing certain benefits accrue to the citizenry.
