rant!

even though no one looks at blogs anymore since facebook has taken over like a virus I thought I would make a rant here.

The cost of going green by the conservatives.

so apparently it will cost us more for fridges, cars, and I am sure light bulbs. Okay, sure this global warming things we have to do something.

so its going to cost 8Billion a year in loss for Canada. okay, so for our 33million people that is what so that is $242 per person per year..... hmmmm okay that is not that bad right? so according to the government we will all pay more for everything.... I am very sure this will be more than $242 per person.

So my thought is there are a lot of ways for the government to make up this $242 per person like lets give the extra credits for energy saving items and put that extra cost on items that are not energy conserving. The conservatives did do that a bit, if you buy a fuel efficient car now you will get tax credits and if you buy an SUV then you will pay more. I like that but lets do more. Say you have to buy a fridge. you can spend more for an energy efficient one or less for a non energy efficient. So lets give rebates for the energy efficient stuff and tax the hell out of non energy efficient items.


and yes light bulbs.... why not make those nice energy star bulbs cheaper than the regular bulbs.

See it works right? This also forces industry to design and come up with more energy efficient items because it will make money for them.
