Why not add a tax to the sale of incandescents for anyone who wants an incandescent?
Thank-you! Using government's taxing policy to encourage socially responsible behavior is something even a conservative like me can support. (Of course I support a $3.00/gallon tax on gasoline as well.)
Meanwhile, the Delaware coastal dwellers are up in arms at the thought that the state might support wind farms over a new coal burning power plant. The wind-farms (9-15 miles off ahore) might ruin their pristine vista, not to mention the unsightly power connection boxes where the power comes ashore. Even some of the environmentalists oppose the windmill farms: might hurt some birds, and noisy transmission lines on the sea bed might scare the fish!
My favoritie scheme proposed for preserving Delaware's air quality is that we should prohibit any new power plants, tear down the existing power plant and pull our power needs off of the NorthEastern Interstate grid.
Of course there are thgose who want us to buils a corn-to-methanol plant; after all we are a mjoer agricultural state. (True, but we import corn! Those chickens sure do eat!) Sussex County, Delaware is ranked first among America's counties in broiler chicken production.
