Most of our electric power in the NW is produced by hydro. And we do
not have a big air conditioning demands during the summer.

Electric vehicles will be very good for the NW.

That is probably true but those mountains will play hell with that 40
mile range thing.

Most people in the US get their power from coal and in spite of the
glossy ads, it is still a dirty way to get electricity.
Natural gas is a viable alternative but this fracking thing has
everyone freaked. In real life it is a minuscule number of wells with
problems, compared to the number fracked but it does make for
compelling TV.
I suppose if we didn't mind paying 50 cents a KWH for solar power like
the Germans do, we could do that. I just doubt the average American is
that gullible. I pay more like 11-12 now.

If your health care costs were 90% lower, you might not mind paying 4X
for electricity.

My family insurance premiums, including dental, are nearly $20K/anum,
without copays or deductibles. I'm putting $6K into an FSA this year
that will cover the rest.

If a bullfrog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass all the time either.

Where was there EVER a plan to cut health care costs by 90%?

If you mean Germany you need to look at the whole tax load, not just
the energy taxes,

I'm talking about single payer, universal health care.

The 10% would cover your Viagra.
