Let's say you live in a neighborhood of 200 houses. Let's say 150 of those homes burn oil, 10 burn wood, 10 burn coal and 30 heat with solar panels. Let's say of the 170, all would switch to solar if they had the money.
So, the neighborhood votes to restrict all form of energy except solar and also votes for the 30 already using solar to pay for some or all of the cost for the remaining to convert.
If you are one of the 30 are you going to stay or move? Duh. You will move. Unless you are Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, you are not going to penalize your family to meet some arbitrary and unnecessary mandate. It would be irresponsible of you to do so. Your family depends on you for support and protection
The question is, would the 140 have voted for the change if they were paying their own tab? If not, they were voting to spend other people's money. In fact, the money of those already using solar. That is pure wealth redistribution.pure wealth redistribution
