Universal Energy Tax offers a simple, transparent, and scalable approach to addressing climate change by focusing on energy consumption itself, rather than complex carbon accounting. Its key strengths are:
It is simple, and there is a level playing field for everyone.
By taxing all primary energy inputs (fossil, renewable, nuclear) proportionally to their environmental and societal costs, the system avoids regulatory loopholes and hidden subsidies. Everyone pays fairly based on usage, not wealth or location.
There is an automatic Incentive for efficiency as well. Because the tax is embedded in all energy use, it automatically rewards innovation, conservation, and cleaner technologies without the need for constant new regulations.
Kilowatt-hours (kWh) and joules (J) are universal, measurable quantities of energy, understood across industries and cultures. Because they directly reflect actual energy use, they offer a fair, transparent basis for applying a Universal Energy Tax.
So: Is a UNIVERSAL ENERGY TAX (UET) a good idea or a bad idea

So suddenly appeared in my timeline today ... which is cool.
But I see Beaver Notes is being reviewed in the same way as a lot of other open source projects are. I don't blame BN here, but it's a trend I'm seeing. And it feels quite odd.
First of all, BN is an application for writing text and making notes.
The reviewer states these two points first:
Privacy: All your data is stored on your device.
Offline mode: Allows you to create and edit notes without an internet connection.
I mean ... it's a text editor you install locally on your system. It's the typical functionality of any text editors.
Another thing which also appears in many open source apps is we don't track you or no adds in this app-
It just makes me sad ... because no tracking and no ads should be the normal situation for any application. And applications not needing to communicate with other services over a network shouldn't need to promote no network access needed.
It is my strong opinion that applications tracking users, enforcing ads and requiring network access for whatever reason when not strictly needed should be forced to put a large sticker on their application of these unwanted features. Not the other way around.

Facebook Ads Vs. Instagram Ads: Which One Works Best
"The reason you begin tracking your data is that you have
some uncertainty about yourself that you believe the data
can illuminate. Its about introspection, reflection, seeing
patterns, and arriving at realizations about who you are
and how you might change."
