This guy is an enviro wacko? I'd like to see evidence of that; investment guys aren't typically known to take the leftist position on these matters.

remember - Goldman Sachs produced the likes of John Corzine.

As soon as I heard the new nominee was from Goldman, I knew there was going to be trouble.

Think again:

Corporations (think BP and all their ads for alternative fuels and lowering carbon emissions) often take public positions that lower shareholder value to stave off high-profile boycotts and other negative publicity.

Remember also how many corporations have paid money to jesse jackson's crowd just to deflect public criticism by these same groups.

They want to trade the artificially-made differences: carbon credits, tax credits, increased property value from moving land off the market, government subsidies, no property taxes on land pushed to future generations.

"If you go to a poker game and don't know within 5 minutes who the mark is... you're the mark."

These are not stupid lefties like you see in Hollywood.
