#13While they're at it they should also ban Christmas lights. That too wastes a similar amount of electricity for no "proper" gain.
When will the war on Christmas end!?!?!?

Everyone is free to drive their car around for no reason whatsoever, which is at least as destructive to the environment. Should we ban cars? If you don't think that the state telling me, at the point of a gun, what programs I'm not allowed to run on my own computer is authoritarian, I'd love to know what your definition of authoritarian is!

Actually yes, cars are insanely wasteful and dangerous. Governments regularly put cars above people which disadvantages poor people and puts pedestrians in danger. There are a ton of better solutions including better city planning, public transportation, bicycles, etc
