I think its important to minimize the total from everyone, but I don't want anyone coming into anyone else's home to unplug their electronics.

I do think there are good things that can come from regulations like building codes and the energy star program.  New homes have double pane windows and new commercial buildings turn the lights off when no motion is detected.

But going beyond that is policing personal behavior and that will create more problems than it solves.

That's why I advocate for a carbon tax.  Wanna use more fossil fuel? None of my business why you want to - just please pay more tax if so.  

A good carbon tax would enable them to cut other taxes.  My home does use solar power.  I drive a very fuel efficient car.  That's a tax cut for me.
