Randy I am not sure where the line needs to be drawn. I just know that what we are doing now is not sustainable.
Your example of the how there are unintended consequences to every act just makes the stakes even higher.
Truthfully I think much of this all comes back to how everything these days is HUGE in size. Just about any endeavor takes more money than a family or individual would usually have. This has lead to monopolies being formed that are not regulated well enough in my eyes. Then these monopolies can influence the government with money to keep doing more of the same. It has became a vicious cycle.
I am for free enterprise/capitalism but I am also realize that this pushes businesses towards becoming monopolies. This is where there needs to be rules/laws to break them up so they can reform another generation of companies/ideas. The business concentration is far more of a danger than energy or EPA rules. Examples would be a few companies owning the majority of the genetic lines of seeds and chemicals or Walmart selling close to 50% of the total groceries in this country. That is not good.
I am too old and not smart enough to know the answers or even the questions on many things. I just know we are heading for a train wreck and it is not going to be good for any of the average people in this country. We are not "too big to fail". We are screwed.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
