Clean Government Plan alternative to Obama's Clean Power Plan

Here's an exceedingly Modest Proposal that could be called "Bringing in the Golden Age".

The rapacious appetite for fossil fueled electricity of the Federal Government for climate control and office equipment would be stemmed by the simple expedient of turning off the power to all the buildings. Further emissions could be diminished by impounding all Federal vehicles and embargoing all travel save by foot. Employees would be instructed not to use their personal vehicles to commute to work. Most of the bonus of emissions reduction would, of course, derive from the cessation of pointless labor and resources filling in forms (save the trees!) for these same bureaucrats.

Though many paper handlers will complain that they are unable to perform their duties, we may gradually reduce their number by firing those not competent enough to adhere to this important and reasonable (dare I say, ultimate) Federal mandate. This formerly was the rule enforced against private industry by fines and injunctions so there is ample precedent. Steps should be taken not to allow the great mass of printed regulations and forms from composting and emitting C02 into the atmosphere, so such materials should be protected from decomposition by the elements in the empty buildings not turned to productive use.

The World would fall to its collective knees in admiration of this demonstration of our strength and commitment and quickly implement their own versions. There would be an exception for the military, provided of course, that they promise not to pick up any hitchhiking bureaucrats. The rest of the country could go about its business unmolested by that pernicious class and prosper knowing that they do God's work in staving off Gorebal Warming/Climate Change or whatever King Putt was talking about.

Hey, it's not the results that count, but the intent, right? No, don't thank me. I just love my country and want (nearly) everyone to be happy.
