Citizen Smash on Environmentalism
Citizen Smash (aka Lt. Smash, or The Indepundit) runs a blog on many issues. For a while, he posted his experiences while called up as a reservist in Iraq.
Today, he has an entry on his blog about environmentalism and questions for the presidential candidates.
I’m sending you there because I find that his opinions and ideas on the issue match mine very closely. I’m a “practical conservationist” – if you give me an alternative to “dirty” methods for doing something (driving, washing, watering the lawn, producing electricity), I’ll use it even if it costs a little more. However, if you give me an impractical alternative (like using a hybrid compact car instead of my SUV – I can’t carry nearly the same amount of stuff), I won’t. It’s that simple. Make it easy for me to conserve and I will.
Solar energy doesn’t really pass the “costs a little more” test right now – the payback is very long. But then, I had other reasons to go solar.
