It is not the current practice here in the colonies.
Some (ahem) think it should be.
However, Big O is basically a carbono-phobe, he and his goofball energy
secretary A.Chu want high oil, gas, hydro/carbon prices to justify
investments in solar, wind, curly light bulbs, riding donkeys, and
hand-cranked iPhones.
He does not seem to realize that increasing base energy prices by all these
means is a tremendous burden on the economy. But he's also in thrall to
certain green climate warming hysterics who say we just have to do it,
period, end of story, don't confuse me with the facts.
That is all.
