No one can tell us the end price for all this so-called green-ery investment ? How much will customers be charged to cover costs of compliance? We know the billions being pored into “ transitioning to green,” but no one is telling us the end benefit? Only the government can come up with a plan this screwy.

Here's a novel idea: how about NO tax credits or subsidies for EITHER petroleum or green fuels and let the free market work like it is supposed to?

This probably isn't the place for that argument, but look at the references on that article. Dates of publishing? 1920. 1955. 1960, 1986. One from 2008, which is 14 years old and yet the closest thing to contemporary.
My point? Times have changed. Today's market absolutely does address social issues like pollution, in ways no one imagined back in the 20's, 50's, 60's.
Government meddling -- and unintended consequences -- is very much the same.
Remove government meddling.
Let. The. Market. Work.
