ok, here we go. Carbon taxes and the emerging market in carbon credits and offsets are going to be the excuse to raise our taxes to pay for the alleged threat of global warming.
I’ve never understood the idea of carbon credits. Because it seems like it means that you can buy a carbon credit and absolve yourself of the need to cut back your own carbon consumption. It seems like a racket to me.
Carbon credits sound a lot like the cap-and-trade policies that the Left hated when Bush proposed using them to regulate air pollution.
I have some carbon credits to sell you. I have two turbo Diesel cars that replaced two minivans that replaced a Suburban and Econoline. So the way I figure they figure, I have two sets of credits to sell. The difference between the mpg of the Diesels against not driving the minivans and the difference between the Diesels and not driving the full size trucks (station wagons or SUVs - you decide).
Ever hear of “Window Insurance?”
