But it’s an “incentive” to make me want to conserve energy to save the planet. All the cool kids are doing it.
Sure it is, all happy and incentivy like.
Only a really bad-thinker would see it as a penalty for NOT saving the planet.

Climate change has been going on from beginning of time.
There have been ice ages, followed by global warming.
It is never smart to deny climate change. Because then you are wrong based on earth’s history.
What is smart is to deny MAN MADE climate change.
We got one of those ‘conservation incentive’ bills last year. I called them and cussed them like dogs. I asked how the heck Am i supposed to conserve energy when it’s 114 outside and their ‘allowance’ would barely keep a lizard alive!?!?
I was so excited about my climate change credit that I went out an bought 5 cans of sterno to burn.
Very nice. I will use mine to pay my bill since PG&E recently got another rate increase and our already outrageous bill went up again. I doubt if the credit equals the rate increase.

LOL! ‘Pound Sand.’ I love that response; it would be mine, too.
Though I’m pretty sure, they’d find a way to tie pounding sand to Globall Warming.
What. A. Bunch. Of. Jerks.
So they penalize big industries by either taxing them more or causing them to go “green.” Those costs have to be recovered by increasing their prices, or if they have too much competition outside the state, they have to relocate outside the state. The tax payer pays for this.
Then, the state takes money from the taxes and passes it out to voters to get them to like the plan. After all, it’s free money. Until you realize that you’re paying more for goods and services because the big industries are passing the cost along to the consumer.
But, hey, it’s a politically correct cause, it gives more power to liberals, and they mean well. Failure is completely acceptable if it meets those criteria.
Marxo-fascist is Ok, too.
