A Story So Stupid, Only Politicians Could Be Involved

So, the dipshits in charge of running the state of Missouri want us to cut down on energy consumption. All well and good, but look at what happens as a result.

Though it might seem illogical, the new energy efficiency charge has support from utilities, most lawmakers, the governor, environmentalists and even the state’s official utility consumer advocate. The charge covers the cost of utilities’ efforts to promote energy efficiency and cut power use.

The assumption is that charging consumers for those initiatives ultimately will cost less than charging them to build the new power plants that will be needed if electricity use isn’t curtailed.

Yeah. Let's see how that ends up.
