Hurst Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:14:56 +0000 http://redgreenandblue.org/?p=312#comment-2512 Rod, you make a valid point. And there are data sets out there that ask about consumers' "willingness to pay." Unfortunately, I don't have any of those at this moment, but I can try to look into it. Rod, you make a valid point. And there are data sets out there that ask about consumers' "willingness to pay."

Do you know of any polls that ask Americans how much they are willing to spend in order to support various energy research and development projects? What has the response been to the "green electricity" programs where people have to voluntarily pay a higher price for electricity produced a certain way? Getting affirmative response to feel good questions about renewable energy development is one thing. Determining the price that people would be willing to pay out of their own pocket is closer to showing Congress what their choice should be. Remember, all taxes have to come from somewhere. Tim:
