The money spent on "pollution reduction" doesn't go away. It just goes into companies that manufacture pollution reduction equipment and more efficient equipment. It costs the _polluters_ more money. I think it's fair that those who pollute pay for the pollution they produce. Some will argue "but that means I'll pay more for electricity when the costs get passed through". Well, the fact is, if you use a product, you need to pay for all its costs. This in itself will help finance alternative and less polluting sources of energy. >I'd gladly vote for a ban on SUVs myself, but there are too many deluded >soccer moms out there who think they can only be safe in ponderous gas >slurpers with a high rollover rate.
