Absolutely - I'm in total agreement, since my business involves the
manufacture and sales of fusion-powered residential heating units
which require purchase of neither electrical power nor fuel for
operation.

I probably should mention that they produce no by-products,
radioactive or otherwise.

The price of these remarkable alternative energy solutions increased
immediately the tobacco tax increase was made effective. I'm a smoker.
