I wonder how long before the economic consequences of this foolish "initiative" become apparent.

What kind of manufacturer would even consider for a moment moving to an area where electricity is guaranteed by law to be expensive and scarce? Where arbitrary restrictions on the amount of carbon (a key component of all life on all Earth) emitted can come into play in a moment's notice?

Instead, such existing businesses already in those states would be well advised to flee this economic madness.

“Fannie Mae Chief Executive Officer Franklin Raines, two of his top underlings and select
individuals in the "green" movement were inventing a patented system to trade residential carbon credits.
Patent No. 6904336 was approved by the U.S. Patent and Trade Office on Nov. 7, 2006 --
the day after Democrats took control of Congress. Former Sen. John Sununu, R-N.H.,
criticized the award at the time, pointing out that it had "nothing to do with Fannie Mae's charter, nothing to do with making mortgages more affordable."

"It wasn't about mortgages. It was about greenbacks. The patent, which Fannie Mae confirmed it still owns with Cantor Fitzgerald subsidiary CO2e.com, gives the mortgage giant a lock on the fledgling carbon trading market, thus also giving it a major financial stake in the success of cap-and-trade legislation."

New Jersey residents need to hammer Christie on this. I bet he doesn’t know this is going on in the bureauacracy.
