Many people are delaying action in order to maximize a hoped-for
government payment (either an entitlement or a tax incentive), much as
many people lived in New Orleans staking their futures on hoped-for
government maintenance of the levee system.

The lesson: It would appear to be a mistake to make important
decisions based on expected behavior of government - regardless of
whether those expectations involve public safety or energy policy.
