    I believe he means scarcity of minable bitcoins. Once you can't mine them why would I or anyone not already in on the scheme want in?

    They can be divisible to 1000 decimal points, if the only way in is to buy something you generated for a couple cents of power for real money I won't bother.

    I am willing to pay more to get rid of those plants. I am willing to increase the cost of electricity to do this.

    Or stop making it a false dichotomy. How about that?

    I pay extra for hydro power. I have had the power out for 7 days once, I did not fire up a generator.

    I would be very happy to have natural gas power if the producer had to capture his waste product. Why do you not seem to grasp that this is acceptable to me? Oh yeah, cause you are trolling.

    My power is hydro and nuke, why would I do that?

    How about instead of dealing with side effects we price them in? Why not simply force them to internalize that cost?

    See my comment about power sources in my area.

    Ever wonder why that is?

    Because catching diseases early is cheaper. If annual visits were not covered folks would skip them and more diseases would go untreated until they were much more expensive to deal with.

    How about you spend a little less time thinking up insults and a little more contemplating why things might be the way they are.

    I am in favor of all emissions being contained to level the playing field.

    Nuclear power does that, natural gas does not. I would be fine with natural gas if they had to capture all their waste. Hydro also manage to do that, and more modern plants even provide fish ladders and the like.

    Emissions that are not harmful I would be fine with, in the case of natural gas that would not be the case.

    Fine, then make it so you can only enter a hospital if you have RomneyCare insurance.

    The basic idea is the same. It forces a little personal responsibility. Instead of the current situation where the uninsured go the the ER and skip on the bill.

    We can both make stupid names for the ACA, don't do that it makes you look pathetic.

    This is no different than car insurance.

    For the same reason you should be required to have both. Not having it is simply you taxing me without my consent by using resources and making me pay for them.

    Even if you want to be willfully ignorant about Global Warming you are going to have trouble claiming the combustion of natural gas does not produce smog producing wastes like Nitrogen Oxides.

    The hybrid car is not such a thing. If that were the case than the cost of the car would be much higher.

    You can get a hybrid for $15k-$20k, which is the same as many other cars. You want to talk about wasteful look at cars that cost that much or more and don't save gas.

    Which is what he was doing you idiot. Global Warming is real, you can argue about the cause if you really want. The last 15 years thing is horseshit and you know it.

    Nuclear power allows us to live like it is the 2000s and not release trillions of more tons of CO2.

    So then for a decade or so prices will simply be very high? That is how long it takes to build a nuclear power plant.

    Gas is artificially cheap, from the driller who does not have to abide by the clean water act to the power plant burning it that does not have to deal with their pollution. Nuclear could be cheap too if you let them dump their used fuel into the air.
