Since a majority of the people strongly desire "a" Third Party, why

Why not include ALL of the national resources in your program? Why
base an economic program on carbon, which you want to sequester?
Theoretical: atmospheric CO2/methane threatens the continuation of
civilization, perhaps even of the human race itself.
Practical: to win a majority a party must have a uniting program that
is simple, comprehensible, effective. Start talking about "all
resources" and you will be written of as utopian or (and not unjustly)
as incipiently totalitarian.
