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

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?

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

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?

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

Looks like a few new ones have been added to our usual suspects list.

Good information. Thanks.
