Well stated. I'd include a heavy tax on cooling as well. Air conditioning has 
caused fundamental changes to our cultures, and most of them are not good. And 
as the temperature continues to rise, this segment of energy usage will rise 
disproportionately.

Subject: [TN] NTC - I believe ... (my credo)

I have seriously updated my credo - http://credo.bnellis.eu/ - on 
environmental and energy matters, with links. As I mention in the 
introduction, this is Utopian but more than just a pious hope of what some may 
perceive as extremism; it is how I see our medium-term future, at least along 
general lines, no matter where we live.

I have deliberately avoided the political and economic aspects of the 
environment and energy. This is because necessity will become the mother of 
the political and economic means to implement these measures, 
little-by-little, country-by-country. How any pressures will be applied to 
individuals, corporations or nations are not my concern but I hope my document 
will help decision-makers come to the right conclusions.

This credo is published for the first time as a stand-alone document with its 
own one-page website. It is free-to-copy in its entirety but not for 
commercial purposes; it is not sponsored nor does it carry advertisements. It 
is not written in stone and I may modify, add or delete clauses at any time 
without notice; suggestions are always welcome.

Please feel free to copy or link it.

Best regards,

Brian Ellis
