In this case, I wonder what components did he fry? Anything worth over $30 per computer? Anything that can't be fixed with a soldering iron and a spool of wire to bypass damaged traces?
I'm afraid your essay is lost on Republicans, who think all taxes are bad, except regressive ones like the sales tax, and who think subsidies are bad, except anything that benefits Big Oil, and who thinks regulations are bad, except again anything that benefits Big Oil.
We didn't realize back then that plastics were slowly making their way into our food supply. Do you think that "better pollution monitoring, regulation and better recycling" is enough to fix that without also banning single-use plastics?
Maybe you should be the one to decide how much electricity people need. How would you do it? Try to be as objective as possible, and avoid the use of any arbitrary numbers that violate the zero-one-infinity rule.
You get blown up by a claymore or something but in your backpack is a swarm of little surgeon drones that find all the pieces, sorts them by DNA in case your buddy got blown up too, glues you back together and restarts your heart, all before hypoxia begins to cause brain damage. Then a week or two later you're doing patrols again.
And for the really poor (especially the elderly) we often subsidize their electricity
Yes, that's a problem. It punishes them for being energy-efficient. Instead of subsidizing each kilowatt-hour, we should give give to them for free as many kilowatt-hours as they need, then if they want more they have to buy them at full market value. This sets up the proper incentive to replace their incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs, put up solar panels, etc.
No, you are wrong. There is no consensus among experts about what we should do to stop climate change.
What are you talking about? The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is to reduce the combustion of fossil fuels. But don't ask a climate scientist whether nuclear or solar should win because he or she wouldn't be an expert on that.

Or just replace the $100 motherboard. Done.
Diodes are cheap. How did they arrive at $58,471 worth of damage for 66 computers?

Please share a link to the survey that you are referring to.
I see, the person without insurance has deprived another of property and therefore of personal liberty, but this is fine because freedom.
This reminds me of that slogan in Orwell's 1984: "Freedom is slavery!"
I see, refusing a vaccination causes no harm to others.
Would you agree that being an uninsured driver also causes no direct harm to others? It's a victimless crime, right?
"If we regulate vaccines, we'll lose all our freedoms and become just like North Korea."
Have you heard of Typhoid Mary?

And that goes double for bicyclists! (50 mpg of O.J.)
Ok but tax only carbon emissions and refund everyone an equal share of the revenue so it doesn't burden the poor.
I'll believe it when I hear it from a 150 year old person.
Then it sounds like you would choose option number two: go live on your own private island. That's fair.
Do you drink milk? Milk cartons are great for holding wet kitchen waste.

Where do you live where all of the external costs of electricity are reflected by its price?
This is a good argument for year round DST.
That's true, they're perfectly nontoxic as long as they aren't exposed to stomach acid.
How will a carbon fee and dividend increase national debt?

Do you contribute to a retirement account? Why do you do it if past performance is no guarantee of future results?
That's a silly question. The wind is always blowing somewhere.
