The plan's flaw is its goal: It's designed to boost electricity costs - and even force some plants to close.

“The plane was above the peaks of the skyscrapers when suddenly, with the abruptness of a shudder, as if the ground had parted to engulf it, the city had disappeared from the face of the earth. It took them a moment to realize that the panic had reached the power stations - and the lights of New York had gone out.”
-- Atlas Shrugged

They oughta just cut off the power to the governors mansion. After all, they have to reduce emissions. And they can’t afford to pay all these extra fees.

God knows there’s enough hot air comin from Albany to run half the state.

Is this guy ever gonna get a clew what a jerk he is?

So who are they supposed to buy carbon credits from..... Al Gore’s company? Is this a political payoff to Al for something?

Tell you what. Since I live on 23 acres of trees I’m going to write to all the power companies and volunteer to sell them my carbon credits for half of what Al wants.

Yup, the east coast libocrits should indeed pay more for their power. In fact, methinks that should actually be forced to generate their own power. Let it be wind, nuclear, or letting Kennedy pedal a bike for the rest of his homicidal life. This would - of course - result in a true conservative dream: letting the b**tards freeze to death in the dark.

“n 2009, these states will force power plants to buy CO2 “allowances,” which will be traded on the open market.”

I wonder when Joe six pack is going to figure out why his electric bill went through the roof. As if he is not tapped out already. Being that inflation is really over 10% and not the cooked up numbers the government is feeding us. What is even more crazy about this is that since it is on the market then the speculators will be free to force the price of these credits up through the roof. Just a they do oil. The wealthy speculators get to pocket a bunch of money, and the tax payer gets to foot the bill. Just wonderful. Maybe when Joe six pack can’t afford anymore beer, then maybe he will figure it out.

NY Gov Spitzer Plan To Force Power Plants To Buy "Credits" For Emitting CO2

Does NY have the right to tax CO2 emissions that occur in another state or even Canada?

I'd be investigating Spitzer for some clandestine ownership in a CO2 trading scheme.

I wouldn't put it past this mob-like figure to be using government policy to bring business to "Cousin Vinny's" company.

I want to know which power company is going to have the b@lls to tell him to go f*ck himself and turn off the plant until they get their way.

I think it's called a protest, I read about some mafia, crime family, thugs, union doing it.

Go for it, Spitzer. After the crash, real estate will be dirt cheap and the population will be in no mood to elect a liberal for decades.

I hope Hillary is asked in the next debate if she supports Spitzer’s energy plan.

Spitzer told Congress how New York has joined 10 northeastern states in a Kyoto-style project called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), meant to combat global warming.

I'd love to see a lawsuit challenge of this. Get Al Gore up on the stand. It would be wonderful to see him sweat and stammer.

DO I HAVE A DEAL FOR YOU!
You can own a”Home CO2 Climate control System” and save a bundle on your utilities bill. “Let my Home CO2 Climate Control” Computer model show you how much you will save.*
Here how it works.
We all know that if you increase the CO2 in the atmosphere less heat energy will escape. You have the same type of atmosphere in your home as outside your home. So, if you double or triple the amount of CO2 there will be a corresponding decrease in amount of energy needed to heat your home.

Likewise, if want to cool your home, the “home CO2 Climate Control System” will remove heat trapping CO2 and allow more heat energy to escape.

Sale price is just $4500.00 plus a $75.00 monthly maintenance agreement.**

Here the best part. Once we have the CO2 cap and trade in place the power companies will pay me $5000.00 per unit built (not Sold he he ha ha). of course the power companies will just pass that cost right back you in rate increases.

Got to fly. I’m meeting with GE, Big Banking firms and some commodities brokers to plan lobbing. ( Arm Twisting with Money)
* There is no peer reviewed studies available for my computer model. JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.
** Base on a 1000 sq ft house.
