“environmental protection” = The great modern mythology.

When the economy is growing at 7% and unemployment is at 4% with low inflation a year taking a 3% hit (the estimated impact of crap & trade) is something people are willing to think about. Now we have 7% unemployment negative growth and the Fed monetizing debt, almost certain to cause hyper inflation. Knocking another 3% off the growth rate now will make 1927 look like a minor correction in the markets. Enough people are starting to realize this to make any kind of green tax very unpopular right now. Not that the greens or the Lord Obama give a darn, but some of the Dems in Congress might be concerned enough to kill this.
