But hey, that's why you have Cass Sunstein! To "nudge" people into conforming to big government policies! Especially now with the EPA able to regulate carbon! We're all going to be in sunshine and lollipop land business suffers, electricity rates skyrocket and the price of everything from food to cars becomes impossible for the regular joe to afford!
Completely ignoring the fact that we're now in a discussion about reducing our consumption of electricity. Sure, that will make the prices of electricity to skyrocket up.
EDIT: I googled it. It was done by the plastic industry. You know, the ones who can lose money if everyone stops using plastic bags. So of COURSE that's what they're going to say.
Seriously? Tells you a thing or two about the plastic-industry...
