I propose an independent body which would look at ideas like this and determine if doing these type of projects which affect the globe actually worth it. It will be called the Citizen Risk Assessment Program or CRAP! The group will look at government proposals on energy and determine whether they meet the guidelines or if it is just CRAP.

Revelation 13:17 (AMP) -- and that no one will be able to buy or sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

The elites flying their private jets will make sure they're allowed to consume energy without having to pay the fee. The rest of us will have to pay the jizya tax.

potentially impacting the everyday lives of consumers.

But greatly enriching a certain segment of elites.

So it's okay.

The little people should be grateful to forego meat, heat, and travel and pay global taxes to the Empire

After all, the elites are saving the planet
