| I was using the 55 mph speed limit as an example of knee jerk but ineffective use of the nanny state to affect individual behavior rather than promoting long term strategies that might really make a difference. Like nuclear power. Or coming up with a way to use coal that is eco friendly since we have so much of the stuff.
I like to joke that I would put a nuclear reactor in my crawl space if I had to to insure the continuous flow of power. I think Toshiba might have such a model.
