If I buy a air ticket I don t care about the base fee - which is sometimes incredible cheap.

What does the electricity company do for that extra money? Do they reduce production of non-renewable energy for the benefit of renewable energy? If not, what is the point of paying extra for your electricity?What do you mean with world-saving? The world is quite good at protecting itself. If people increase CO₂ emissions too much, it will just have the effect that all humans die, and so the world is safe.
are you perhaps a programmer professional?

If you bundle in all the costs German electric prices are about double Finland's, which is what I wrote.

We are in a very unique station as most places in the U.S. get their power from some large company that is often publicly traded.. The result is we get very cheap power prices. For internet access we get 1G to our house for $50 per month.

This is a rational statement to make for you as an individual consumer, concerned with maximizing individual value and $. However, you are not paying the right price for your flights as is, considering that the damages of emissions over time are not correctly added to the ticket price you currently pay. So one way or another, if we are to save our planet, we will all have to pay the right amount of our "hard earned money" for flights, and not an artificial low amount like today.
No offense, but how do you think this world has lasted millions of years so far... its just another way for some companies/people to make money by making others feel gulity

Save human life on the planet as we know it* Sorry for wording myself inaccurately, the planet will survive, but we won't have too great of a time. If you're denying man-made climate change then I don't have much else to say here.

EDITed to add: I think we're moving quickly into OMNI-land, so I won't comment more on climate change in this topic.

1 Gbps. Yes, it is a great deal and works awesome. It is also profitable for my town, they have made millions from it that goes into the general fund.

And yes I am denying man-made climate change, so we can agree to disagree. which is fine, no harm no foul
