New Rules (proposals of laws that will fix problems)

Inspired by Bill Maher’s “New Rules” segment of his show, but not as satire. Some satire is perhaps welcome but this is like a serious bug tracker for the real world (not bugs in software apps).

Consider how all food has a CO₂ footprint and a lot of it is being consumed and then from there it’s metabolised into stored energy (fat). That’s like a waste of stored unused energy. So an emissions price was paid in creating that energy storage where it just remains unspent. Then if they drive a car, they create new emissions without first using the readily available zero emissions lipid energy.

So new rule: no car until the excessive energy reserves stored on the body are depleted. I’m one of them. Living by my own law, I peddle my fat ass around town on a bicycle.

Exceptionally, they can have an EV but it must be charged by man power, such as an exercise bike with a reverse motor to charge the battery. The power plug must be incompatible with charging stations.
