re: #116 LudwigVanQuixote

There is no free market pressure there even if the public could be convinced. In things like cars and housing etc… sure people like the ides in the abstract of more green, but there is as yet insufficient option to buy that is affordable without a government jump start.

There’s programs like TVA’s green power switch which is kinda like that. If you add a few bucks to your electric bill they will make sure that the amount of power you use is produced by clean means somewhere or something like that.

I’ve not read too much on it because it sounds too much like buying indulgences still. It’s the same as with buying carbon offsets or whatever the deal Gore was talking about a while ago.
