The whole carbon credits idea is nothing but a socialist plot

You are absolutely right. Spitzer's scheme is nothing but a price fixing scheme and/or hidden tax wrapped in the language of free-market capitalism just to make it palatable to the unwary.

Folks the customers of the utilities are going to have to pay for it one way or another. Thus their rates will go up. Thus it amounts to a tax.
