Unreliable wind power costs twenty times more. Amazing that anyone can hate families enough to make them pay twenty times more for something as basic as electricity. Even more amazing are the lies they tell to justify it. catholicfundamentalism.com is always pointing out that we should pray for these gougers, since there's no other way their souls can avoid eternal pain.

Except, according to your post "Services should not be free at the point of use", we'd apparently value it more. Tim adds: Heh: possibly true. “After all (unless you’re motivated by guilt) there’s no reason to do something expensive, just because it is expensive.”
