Not helping

This is why some people think the global warming hysteria is a bad idea.

Disposable batteries, no matter how efficient, should be considered a controlled substance and, as such, should be sold under the same restrictions as, say, prescription drugs or guns.

This will cause the price of every electronic consumer good to shoot through the roof. It makes something simple, like smoke detectors and creates headaches, expense and bureaucracy to use it.

No one is against cleaner air, more green space, or more efficient cars—well, very few are—but when you talk like this, people will react violently in the opposite direction. People are against higher costs and more hassles.

I spelled bureaucracy right the first time. Yes!
