Senator Barbara Boxer

Sen. Barbara Boxer would like to see Congress take another stab at legislation to fight global warming. Just don't expect it to happen anytime soon.
After touring part of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Wednesday morning, Boxer said federal climate-change legislation remains dead. Such legislation would be a big boost to many of the technologies under development at the lab, including advanced biofuels and artificial photosynthesis.
But the current gridlocked Congress won't touch it. And she won't introduce such legislation herself until that changes.
"Climate change doesn't have the votes," said Boxer, a Democrat. "I'm a pragmatic legislator. I'm not going to waste time on something that's not going to work."

Senator Barbara Boxer
Words fail completely.
A small miracle that even with full control, the Baraqqis couldn’t pass CapNTax or cardcheck.
Lol! Ya think? They couldn't even get it through when they controlled the house and the senate by a filibuster proof margin.
Someone on the Hill wanna tell MAMM that if the tech is viable that Washington doesn’t NEED to subsidize or regulate the world so that it hits the market all by it’s very lonesome?
Someone on the Hill wanna tell MAMM that people recently woke up to why we are 13 TRILLION in debt?
Someone on the Hill wanna tell MAMM to just stop blocking that solar plant that a private company wants to build in SoCal and she gets ‘green’ energy?
Of course, she knows better and wouldn’t listen anyway. The day that watermellon moron is voted out I’m gonna lead the happy dance.
Hey look Senator, there’s a tiny remnant of the American economy still twitching. Better stomp it to death before it spreads.
Such legislation would be a big boost to rent seekers wanting to spend your money irrespective of merit.
Such legislation would be a big boost to many of the technologies under development at the lab, including advanced biofuels and artificial photosynthesis. WRONG! IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DAMAGING TO THE ECONOMY. THERE WOULD BE LITTLE LEFT OVER TO WORK ON THE IMPRACTICAL PIE-IN-THE-SKY “SOMEDAY” ALTERNATIVE ENERGY WITH A COLAPSED FINANCIAL STRUCTURE. IT HAS BEEN ESTIMATED THAT THE HOAX-BASED CAP N’ TRADE TAXES COMBINED WITH THE HEAVY-HANDED REGULATIONS WILL COST $700 TRILLION.
But the current gridlocked Congress won't touch it. YES! GRIDLOCK MEANS WE MAY SURVIVE THE IDIOCY OF THE GORE-WORSHIPERS. And she won't introduce such legislation herself until that changes. WELL, AT LEAST THAT SHOWS SHE'S NOT ENTIRELY A LUNATIC.
“Climate change doesn't have the votes,”BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SMART ENOUGH TO SMELL A SCAM. ESCPECIALLY AFTER IT HAS BEEN EXPOSED SEVERAL TIMES AND MANY OF THE GUYS WHO WERE IN ON THE SCAM HAVE ADMITTED TO IT. “I'm a pragmatic legislator. I'm not going to waste time on something that's not going to work.” GOOD, THEN SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP, COMRADE BOXER!
*Boxer: Climate-change legislation still DOA.*
“Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead!”
Sorry Babs, that is a description of your political CAREER!
