But, why allow that when we can literally drag the nation backwards by maintaining outdated ideas and industries? After all, as stated below, it is all about greed, and with a central power grid (and, depending where you are, legislation that actually punishes people for trying to get off of said grid) being the only real option, we have little choice but to p(l)ay along.

Personally, I find it ridiculous that we are still locked into such a antiquated system of energy consumption. But, as stated, when your supplier is incapable of curtailing its own insatiable greed, we end up vulnerable and weakened. But, by all means, lets keep on with the fires and pollution being proliferated by greedy sub humans who think they are better than we are solely because they have more money. As if that means anything to anyone other than a fellow greed-infused American.

(Also, you ain't seen nuthin' yet. The 'rising arrow' of our greedy desire to always get more than the last time is completely unsustainable. It will all collapse soon enough. It didn't have to happen this way, but... we are humans and we seem incapable of denying our base desires even when it means our mutual destruction.)
