My actual point was that the consumer will be paying for it in any event. The pols will not make the consumers pay directly, of course, because the voters would rebel. Tacking on these costs to the big, evil corporations, on the other hand, is politically palatable even though it is still us who will pay. (There is a reason why Californians are paying the highest prices for energy.) The insidious thing is that it hurts the lower income levels the worst. Indeed, enacting all these grand schemes on the backs of the poor/middle class is what is making it more difficult for them to escape their economic level. Warren's white, college educated voters can feel good about themselves for a couple of thousand a year that they can easily afford, while the poorer folks are going without to afford gas and heating. When they learn this - and they are starting to - watch out.
