It Warms My Heart

The greenies seem to always bitch about getting government mandates to make people use alternative energy technologies.

As anyone with an inkling of economics knows: as soon as prices get high enough, people will seek out alternatives. When the price of beef gets too high, people buy more pork (or use less beef). That’s the market at work. Which is what you see here. Electricity runs too high, so they install solar. Gas is too high, so they start using home-brew bio-diesel. All without government mandates.

I love it when the market works.
