Climate Craziness of the Week – taxing sunlight
Posted on July 26, 2013 by Anthony Watts

No, I’m not kidding. Truly, idiocy has no bounds.
In Spain, they appear to have actually done this, with fines up to 30 million Euros for non compliance.
The stupid, it sunburns. Air will be next. Breath tax.

From MISH’S Global Economic Trend Analysis:

link to Google translated article: El Pais, Spain Privatizes The Sun
If you get caught collecting photons of sunlight for your own use, you can be fined as much as 30 million euros.
If you were thinking the best energy option was to buy some solar panels that were down 80% in price, you can forget about it.
…
“The Spanish Photovoltaic Union (UNEF), which brings together some 300 companies representing 85% of the industry, ensures that, implemented these changes, it would be more expensive solar consumption resorting to conventional supply. “It prevents the savings to consumers and paralyzes the entry of new competition in the electricity market,” contemplate. “

It used to be that the sky was the limit.

As for an air tax... that has already been proposed. (No - I'm not kidding.)

@Renegade: The Detroit street view thing was silly-funny, but you know, there's probably more than a grain of truth in there somewhere...

Nice-looking leafy suburb, Belvidere St in Detroit.

Not sure if that's "leafy" or "overgrown".

Another report on it:

The headline:
Spain Privatizes The Sun: Multi Millon Dollar Penalties For Collecting Sunlight

Should read:

But, killer tomato, killer tomato.

Here's another bit of fun about the sun:

A snippet from it:

Quote

We are suffering from the ruinous competition of a rival who apparently works under conditions so far superior to our own for the production of light that he is flooding the domestic market with it at an incredibly low price; for the moment he appears, our sales cease, all the consumers turn to him, and a branch of French industry whose ramifications are innumerable is all at once reduced to complete stagnation. This rival, which is none other than the sun, is waging war on us so mercilessly we suspect he is being stirred up against us by perfidious Albion (excellent diplomacy nowadays!), particularly because he has for that haughty island a respect that he does not show for us.

New doctor.

A young doctor had moved out to a small community to replace a doctor who was retiring.

The older doctor suggested that the young one accompany him on his rounds, so the community could become used to a new doctor.

At the first house a woman complains, "I've been a little sick to my stomach."

The older doctor says, "Well, you've probably been overdoing the fresh fruit. Why not cut back on the amount you've been eating and see if that does the trick?"

As they left, the younger man said, "You didn't even examine that woman? How'd you come to the diagnosis so quickly?"

"I didn't have to. You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor in there? When I bent over to pick it up, I noticed a half dozen banana peels in the rubbish bin. That was what probably was making her sick."

The younger doctor said "Pretty clever. If you don't mind, I think I'll try that at the next house."

Arriving at the next house, they spent several minutes talking with a younger woman. She said that she just didn't have the energy she once did and said, "I'm feeling terribly run down lately."

"You've probably been doing too much for the Church," the younger doctor told her. "Perhaps you should cut back a bit and see if that helps."

As they left, the older doctor said, "I know that woman well. Your diagnosis is almost certainly correct, she's very active in the church, but how did you arrive at it?"

"I did what you did at the last house. I dropped my stethoscope and, when I bent down to retrieve it, I noticed the vicar under the bed."

Gosh, the air was taxed in Texas well over 10 years ago. Yep, if you want to fly in the air over texas, you have to pay a $5.00 per flight tax. This nonsense has caused general aircraft related profits in Texas to lose millions every year. A lot of pilots choose to bypass Texas airspace if possible, meaning less fuel sold and aircraft services lost.....
