UNBURDENED BY CONSISTENCY.(A)
But then logic or consistency rarely burdens the green crowd.
Public policy built on emotion, however, does. That's why Benjamin and the others had the gall to delay the state Public Utilities Commission meeting withtheir "We won't pay" protest.
Yet, under its 1998 Policy Directions, the Green Party of California calls for government to "substantially increase the taxes on gasoline."
It also supports "true-cost pricing, which reflects the "realistic' cost of products including ecological damage and externalities caused during the manufacturing process."
So if higher prices are good for gas, why aren't they good for electric power? Shouldn't Benjamin and her allies welcome higher power rates because they would cut consumption -- and therefore the pollution produced by power plants? Shouldn't they have been pushing for higher rates?
But conservation is just a stalking horse for the green crowd. They use it as an excuse to bash companies and the market system.
They prefer an America where the state seizes the means of power production.
