I exhale, therefore I pollute?

Now the government will have a vested financial interest in ensuring that industry continues to emit CO2.

The middle class won't need tax cuts when they no longer have jobs.

This doesn't discourage foreign oil as much as it discourages domestic oil, coal, and natural gas. It also makes so many manufacturing facilities worth more dead than alive—watch for corporate raiders to buy up manufacturing plants just so they can trade off the carbon emissions. Hey, GM may be worth something after all.

Maybe the Secret Service will arrest Obama next time he snorts a line. The dude is either on drugs or listening to Biden.

If ethanol couldn’t compete with oil when it was 140 bucks a barrel it’s time to let it wither on the vine and stop subsidizing it.

The federal requirement for it to be mixed with gasoline amounts to nothing but an extra tax on fuel.

“Because our future depends on our ability to break free from oil that’s controlled by foreign dictators, we need to make clean, renewable energy the profitable kind of energy,” Mr. Obama said”

Liberals really are retards.

Thinking is beneath his pay grade...and keep talking like that will get you an expedited trip to a re-education camp.
