Energy Cost -Part II

One of the arguments is that fossil fuel pollutes the environment and that we need to use some other form of energy. Electricity runs from 6.5 cent to 12 cents a kilowatt. Solar power runs between 34 cents to 42 cents. Wind is between 3 to 5 cents when the wind is blowing.

The market place says that oil is the most cost effective source of fuel for mobile vehicle energy consumption. So government says we will add a tax to pay for roads. The tax keeps going up but the taxpayer do not have accountability. Is the money going to roads, or maybe to partially fund a mass transit system?

Atomic and coal fire electric power plants provide the most cost effective electricity. Oil is the most cost effective fuel for cars, trucks, airplanes, trains, etc.

There is no scientific proof that the environment is harmed by carbon dioxide omissions into the atmosphere. In science there is not consensus, only absolute conclusion. Global warming is a scientific consensus based on computer models.

In 2006, the west coast forest fires produced one-third of all the pollution in the United States. I have not heard any outrage from the environmentalists, laws being passed to make forest fires illegal, or a tax on smoke.

Animals exhale carbon dioxide. What is next, a tax to breath?

Let the market place work. Drill for the oil. Work on alternatives. The solution will be found when the price is right without governmental interference. Nature is to complicated to think that humans can control the atmosphere.
