This is a list of those who stand to profit financially from the bill. The big bucks will be heading their way soon. Any list of those who support it because it is going to “save the planet”?

TIME to BOYCOTT

Nancy Pelosi and Congress are hanging their hats on these “fine” businesses an organizations that back the cap.

[doc11355]

If the HipHop Caucus supports it, how could there be anything wrong with it? /s

[Tublecane]

“Energy” I understand, but “security”? Security for whom? Security against what?

“Global warming”? So now the House is protecting us against the climate? Ha!

Evil foreign oil dealers? Let me tell you, cap and trade is not the solution. You can’t get rid of our dependence by forcing us not to use what we want—nay, need. That creates a whole new, worse, problem (called poverty). Cure worse than the disease.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

I see the extremely liberal National Council of Churches was in favor of this monstrosity so I will ask again how many Freepers go to one of those churches.

Are any of you the same ones who are screaming and yelling about the 8 Republicans who defected?

[Tublecane]

I know they don’t really exist anymore, but out of historical curiosity, you should add that Enron was all over this.

[meyer]

I'm really surprised to see ANY investor-owned utilities involved here - they stand to be hit hardest. Well, I suppose that as long as they can pass the costs on to their captive customer base, they will be OK.

And cost, it will. Is a little marketing perk ("We're fighting global warming, buy our stuff") worth losing 15% of your customer base when they leave the country?

[Tublecane]

“Any list of those who support it because it is going to ‘save the planet’?”

According to Al Gore, everyone who likes science in particular and reason in general. You know, all thinking men.

[libertarian27]

Call me clueless, but I never knew the HipHop Caucus, The Episcopal Church and United States Conf. of Catholic Bishops would have anything in common.

This list of supporters reminds me of a school theater department looking for sponsors for their playbill print costs.

[NTHockey]

What the *&$! is the HipHop Caucus?

[MamaDearest]

This is a list of those who stand to profit financially from the bill.

Not so much when the ever-increasing numbers of unemployed people stop buying Starbucks, Nike, etc. etc. etc, not to mention finding alternate methods (wood/pellet stoves) of heating their homes (Avista, et al). By the time this is all said and done, to balance out the higher energy and other costs, people are going to cut back so severely, it's going to backfire on them (and their ill-gotten profits) ultimately. Have already invested in clothesline and clothespins. They may "save the planet" but they're going to destroy companies and jobs in the process unlike anything we've ever seen before.

I have the same question as you. There are a few religious organizations on this list. What should be the reaction at the local church? Unions act as One and sweep up many employees that don't believe in the Union stance, but what do you do here?

“What the *&$! is the HipHop Caucus?”

When all of the above have a convention to vote for the head idiot!

[Sequoyah101]

Weeellll, regulated utilities make a profit margin on cost. Cost goes up and the margin goes up. Years ago there was a gas plant across the road from a gas plant owned by my employer, a large company.

The plant across the road was painted nicely, had new vehicles parked in front, newly constructed and maintained fence, flowers and lots of other perks. This was in sharp contrast to the plant of my employer.

The difference? The one across the street was owned by a regulated utility, they made money by spending money. We made money by working money.

[SERKIT]

Common sense ain't all that common if all these folks don't see the hoax.
