Also: Getting them to do carbon restriction by fiat will be even harder. Oh, a state organized decreases in carbon consumption could look like: "here's an electric car you can trade your broken down gas car for", "here's a program that will insulate your house for free", "here's a bunch of public transit lines leading to shopping centers, recreation and work". The state doesn't have to solve these problems by applying "the stick" to the average person, despite the average HN commentors' apparent eagerness to do this.
