Why does the USA not have a National
Program (in place of knee-jerk reactions all over the nation) and a Transition Plan to Eliminate Pollution ???
The USA must “Lead the World” with a PMP (Polluter Must Pay) Levy on the Polluters for the Damage and Societal Costs caused by Pollution… PAID BY THE POLLUTERS and used to FINANCE & USHER IN A ZERO POLLUTOON USA(EARTH)… ASAP…
[ Today Global Pollution causes 9 Million Premature Deaths Annually and 275Million DALY of Suffering with a Societsl Cost of $36.5 Trillion/yr … $1Million/Victim; $100,000/DALY of year-long Suffering.
This calls for $0.28 / KWhe PMP Levy on THE POLLUTERS on the 130 Trillion KWhe/yr of Energy Use.. TODAY.
This can FINANCE & USHER in a ZERO POLLUTION EARTH IN A DOZEN YEARS. The Solar Energy Providers can be rewarded for Pollution Free Electricity from the $400 Trillion Levied / Collected.].
In the USA.. that uses 13 Trillion KWhe/yr of Energy use TODAY.. the PMP Levy ( as it is ONLY a Temporary Charge to Eliminate Pollution) comes to $3.64 Trillion/yr PAID BY THE POLLUTERS ONLY… and used to “reward” Pollution Free Electricity. This would start shutting down ALL POLLUTING POWER PLANTS, INDUSTRIES, USERS EQUIPMENT & FACILITIES… ONE BY ONE .. AND USHER IN A ZERO POLLUTION USA… IN A DOZEN YEARS (2050..??) .. !!!
