What is important right now is making sure that people who can barely read who live in west Virginia can continue to count on burning coal so they can afford a big truck.
Agreed. Don't forget to ship them out of season foods produced through wasteful industrial processes with special oil-linked subsidies, regularly re-clothe them in garments from the other side of the world, and sell them needless nick-knacks from China. Better yet, let's make sure nothing at all lasts so we have to throw it out and buy new ones.
(Non-sarcasm: IMHO government could do many things - tax irreparable goods heavily, subsidize low-transport or low carbon production solutions, add sustainability to national education syllabuses, fund national and international networks of alternate energy transportation systems (starting with trains and boats), reward repairs, and heavily dis-incentivize fiscal middle-men for venture funding.)
