Tangentally, has anyone done any any reading on how some Americans' energy consumption increases when they gain access to renewable energy like solar power? It contributes to new forms of energy actually not really being all that more efficient because people end up using so much more electricity; "It's free from the sun, so I just leave my lights and TV on all day."
“It’s free from the sun, so I just leave my lights and TV on all day.”
Don't worry, the capitalists will solve this by charging households a carbon tax. You get to use x amount per day and everything over that costs you more.
That won't be given to companies, just to the people, make the problem the responsibility of individuals at home.
Eh surely even in a communist society you are going to want to ensure people aren't being ridiculous with their usage, free up to something like 200% of average usage would be a reasonable method, anything over that would need justification.
Sure but that's not the reason they'll be doing it. They'll do it to avoid touching companies for a little longer and to pass the burden onto "individual responsibility" as always.
There are studies, it increases a little at the margin as poorer families use what they need, but people getting solar are generally conscious of power costs, and it actually reverses if they start turning a profit and piping power back into the grid sometimes, they become much more power conscious.

Interesting, neverheard that either and makes sense. I actually train bare knuckle so I dont break a hand if I ever need to defend myself with hands.
So sad that boxing/mma is commodified to a gladiatorial blood sport rather than personal development & cultivation.
