Re: Zero Emission Coal Fired Energy -- What would you pay?
ct - just had another thunk
We subsidize the price of electricity so that poor people can afford it, but rich people just buy more and waste it.
How about selling electricity on a sliding scale? If the number of users on each meter could be registered, we could charge the lowest rate up to a quantity determined by the number of users, and then a higher rate when this amount is exceeded on an escalating sliding scale. The reverse of more is cheaper.
Your concept of selling to the user/owner cuts out the overhead of Government. It's probably the easiest sell.
