  1. The left have always had this trait. I remember debating the welfare state with a die-hard liberal. I asked her about welfare moms, who have lots of babies and receive a subsidy. What if they were all having 7 or 8 babies on the government dole? Do we sterilize them? She said "Yes. If we have to." She thought she was being very pragmatic. I thought she was talking crazy. Behind all the free love and compassion lies a very authoritarian mind-set, and an implicit (or explicit) contempt for anyone who believes differently or doesn't adhere to a very strict set of behaviors. "We offer utopia. In return, you must conform and, most of all, obey."

  2. The problem with wind power, as conceived by central planners, is they're big, expensive, loud, and they're an eye-sore. How about encouraging small wind generators for individuals? Instead of trying to do it all at once, from on high, we need to think about people being empowered to live less dependent on centralized grids, which, when compromised, bring everybody down at the same time. EVs is sort of similar. Instead of trying to replace ICEVs by mandates from on high, why not LET electric vehicles that are good for getting around town be produced? Trying to replace conventional, long-distance passenger vehicles (let alone freight vehicles) all at once, by force, is sucking all the capital out of more achievable and practical solutions to the pollution problem.
