When This Blows Over

It wouldn't be the first time that genius minds tried
to diminish liberty under the guise of science.

With renewable energy sources you'll still plug your
toaster into the same outlet.
So how exactly does that diminish your "liberty?"

Renewable energy, promoted by our government
with subsidies for over four decades now, still only
accounts for a very small percentage of overall
energy consumption, maybe 1-2%. That is not the
free market at work. That is government promoting a
grossly inefficient alternative.
The government has at its disposal only one method
to achieve its ends, force. So to answer your q,
liberty is diminished when the government uses force
against law abiding people to take away what they
earned so that it may be given unearned to someone
else. Subsidies to non-profitable green energy
companies are examples of diminished liberty and of
legal theft.
That to some of us is a perversion of proper law
that can only be called injustice.
