This is not a lost cause. It is here that we should be fighting. Without the support of the local governments the Federal Governments have no power.
I have no issue with the green movement either, but like you said, as long as it's free market and a viable alternative I'm game. I am against printing money to invest in solar panels when the tech to replace modern fuels is just not there. I can have a thousand solar panels in my yard and if the sun don't shine they're worthless same goes for wind turbines and, well, wind. And then there's energy storage. That's a long way off.
My wife accepted a free box of toxic waste from DTE electric company filled with CFL's. I'm sure they get government money above and beyond what the shortage in electrical revenue would be had I not made the switch and I'm sure this is how Agenda 21 has crept into our home even though Agenda 21 is not implemented through our local government. I've been replacing all our light bulbs with LED's whenever one burns out. The savings are amazing.
