But suffice to say that it WILL cost more than nothing at all. What

Are you saying that you are willing to pay no increase of any kind, to
provide your children with a cleaner world? Zero? Zip? Yes or no
question.

Certainly I am willing to kick in a little more. But not nearly what was
proposed by the kyoto summit, when the subject of global warming and
other environmental impact was discussed, and proposals along the line
of increasing fuel costs as a method to "dissuade" people from using
fossil fuels.

The effect on the economy would be widespread and devestating....

Not if it were focused on areas where ELECTIVE use was predominant. You DO
know what that means, right? Or do you need help?
