[RFI] FW: Sweden imposes higher levy on electricity bills for EMC | Southgate Amateur Radio News

[Dave]

Hi Joe,

Again, respectfully, you keep moving the question from would I pay 
$600.00 a year to have a clean RF environment, to something other than a 
clean RF environment for my paying a fee...  These are entirely 
different questions.  So for now, lets agree to a different set of 
questions...

Let me answer your new question:

All of us are already paying a fee, (via taxes), for enforcement of the 
EMI suppression laws, and yet here we are with EMI problems!

We are here because that process has clearly failed us.  So why would I 
pay an additional fee for a failed process?

Thus my answer is no, I am not willing to pay an increased fee for a 
failed process.  However, (as per my original answer to the original 
question), I am willing to pay a reasonable fee for a successful process.

As you said:

The above seem to be in conflict with what you suggested originally, to 
threaten officials with removal by election.

As I said initially, we can not threaten elected officials with a vote 
to remove, over EMI issues, for precisely the reason I stated 
originally, and you have now agreed with.

That said, the real question here is how do we solve the current EMI 
problem with solutions that will actually work, in the current environment?

I think the ARRL is on the right track...  Start by setting boundaries, 
via current methods...

While this is a very slow process, it is one that I believe in the long 
run will help.

Will it fix the issue of EMI, not a chance, but it will make it 
better...  But only when people in general are effected by EMI.
