willing to pay a little more to use sustainable, environmentally

that figures ... it's some drunk ass alcoholic uk git who doesn't know
what repect is cause he had no real parents.

Geeze JILLY calm down, maybe he's all on and maybe its you that has been
attention starved and you need to display your sense of loss here cause you
cannot manage to let your emotions out in a face to face with anyone. I
would go out and tell the first person that you see in public that your
parents starved you of attention and love, boy, after that you'll feel great
and you may have made a new friend!

Of course not. Environmentally-friendly techniques have to be CHEAPER than
the alternatives. By whatever excessive amount the cost of a green-earth
alternative, you have an exact amount of wealth destroyed.

An extra $100 spent on electricity for the summer or by using ground-up
tires in concrete is $100 that cannot be spent to discover a cure for cancer
or any other useful purpose. including beer.

But more expensive can be cheaper. Paying more now to save lots later is a
way of having beer money every year.

Case in point, I am spending 8500.00 on a new furnace. This new furnace may
cost ALOT right now, but I will not be spending all that money on oil over
the long run. Plus, I will be saving water too!

"Then said I, Wisdom [is] better than strength: nevertheless the poor
man's wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not heard." Ecclesiastes 9:16

If the degree is in economics, you need only go to George Mason
University's website and look for Waletr Williams' home page. There,
you will find a list of articles which will adequately explain the
answer you seek.

A survey asking what people *would* do is irrelevant to reality when it
has been established time and again what people *have* done. People
act in the manner most economical for them. Time has shown that when
people are allowed to do so, their charitable acts increase
dramatically.

The "green lobby" has to understand that economics is the driving force
behind consumer decision-making. Unfortunately, the environmental
movement is laden with people who are less interested in envirnmental
issues than in economic issues, spoecifically looking to undermine free
market systems. For them, what is good for the environment is
irrelevant; only what achieves their objective of wreaking havoc on
business is important. This includes having environmentalists at odds
with corporate America.

The other side is those who capitalize on the green movement by making
products which purportedly comply with their standards, and ensuing
government regulation requiring their use. Often the product is
actually counterproductive to the aim of the environmentalists and
inconvenient to consumers. As an example, low flush toilets, which
reduced water per flush but required multiple flushes and clogged
repeatedly. No one would have bought these, but they were mandated by
law. They were counterproductive and inconvenient, but they probably
enriched some toilet manufacturers and politicians.
