    Duran, who lives in the town of Salvaterra do Mino, said she now wants to slap a fee on everyone who uses the sun and give half of the proceeds to the Spanish government and 20 percent to the nation's pension fund.

    She would dedicate another 10 percent to research, another 10 percent to ending world hunger -- and would keep the remaining 10 percent herself.

    "It is time to start doing things the right way, if there is an idea for how to generate income and improve the economy and people's wellbeing, why not do it?" she asked.


    I call Pluto!

    Maybe if we pay more, we could get more?


    Technically if someone gets skin cancer can they sue her for damages?

    Tell me, how much internet time do you have to spend before you come to Fox News Orlando?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Interesting idea. By the same logic I can hurl my bike into someone's back garden while they sleep, and when they wake up in the morning slap them with a rental bill.
