So whatever you do, don't buy more then about 10 tanks of gas a year.
On top of it, this doesn't do anything for your power bill.
Oh and to really throw things in our face they're going to hire 247 bureaucrats this year.

Well, I only buy 10 or 15 tanks a year between my wife and me, but I won't be seeing any rebate because together we make more than the threshold. Maybe one of us should quite or job, or more likely we will get laid off. I have a small house and about the most efficient furnace you can buy, and this will still probably end up doubling my electrical and gas bill by 2018. But hey! Maybe this will incentivize me to burn fewer fossil fuels! Oh wait, no it won't. I'm basically bare minimum. I ride my bike to work every day. Should I stop being able to drive to the mountains to save the climate? Such BS.
