Owens supported Cap and trade becuase it would avoid patchy state laws.....
but that was in 2007 (with less Democrats in Congress and Bush in office)...even up to his reversal he had been softening his stand....
Zero is kiking his company...he hates coal(need CAT equipment to get it), Cap and Trade, and the proposed higher TAX on international profits
He supported it because he thought his company would make big bucks because coal would be punished. He was banking on the EPA to help his company by considering most of his products to fall under the de minimis standards for cap and trade.
It didn’t happen.
