Thank you for the time you put into the post, I appreciate it.
The least I can do is answer, if not clear up a couple of things.
So explain to me how you expect California to go forward with this technology that is state government pushed? If they cannot afford to place,
buy, or even discount such devices how are they going to move forward with such things? Actually would it not be better for them to let people use
whatever energy they want so they could add more tax to it? After all a failing government often adds taxed to increase its funds. But please explain
to me how California is going to do this when it cannot pay for anything. They have no more money, and will be issuing IOUs.
(IMHO) Government(s) find the money when they want something bad enough - always have - always will.
It is not that I am wanting to stand in the way of any ATS member but I would like to see those who start threads to know the dates of the
articles they are posting and to give credit to any thread that might have came before them (you know common courtesy).
I was sincerely thanking you for keeping an eagle eye on duplicate threads.
For one reason or another I have a horrid time with the *search* here on ATS - and I do look.
I’d much rather have brought the information that I believed was *new* to another thread, than start one, but, I thought what I’d found was
importantly new and didn’t want it buried somewhere never to be seen again.
When a person sits and argues about their thread remaining open when another has been pointed out makes it seem as if the other ATS member is
less important than themselves.
Thank you so much for saying *seems*.
I’m not interested in stars, or kudos or whatever here on ATS.
Nor do I live vicariously through the original journalists that post the article, nor does posting a thread make me feel *important*.
To me that’s just a bit *off*.
I didn’t do the research for the article, I didn’t make my bones for big time MSM organization, I didn‘t spend hours putting it together a final
product...
What did I do?
I found an interesting article, wanted to pass it on to ATS and, here comes the big part - I hope you’re sitting down!
I used Cut - Paste! :O
Woopie.
That, does not, make me feel important.
So thank you for adding in the *seems* part.
Argue about the content, yes, I did.
Before it was so kindly pointed out to me (and you were most tactful) that my thread was outdated - I felt, (and still to some extent do) - that even
if this was posted a year ago - and even if it hasn’t been implemented, it seems no one did a thing about it.
You state, and rightly so, California is broke.
But, and I reiterates, I don’t think it would stop *them* if they really wanted to enforce this practice.
Thanks again for your time.
