Beam me to Planet Gore !
Just one political assault after another.
Cap & tax is “market based”? They all seem to be using the same phrasebook, straight from George Soros.
What kind of “market” are we talking about here? The Marxist-Leninist market?
Carbon dioxide is the primary component that is the basis of all plant life and without it the entire food chain for all life would end. The Earth has had continuous fluctuations in the levels of CO2 though out its history. We are in a time of plentiful CO2 which is a good thing for plant life and the growing of food.
If the Chicken Littles wanted to do something with CO2, they would use it in the production of Algae Oil, which locks in CO2 for the production of fuel. Any fossil fueled electrical plant could put its CO2 output directly into the production of algae oil.

I thought City Journal above that sort of glaring editorial error, in the subtitle no less.
There is something a LOT more disturbing here. The Administration is making it clear that if the Congress doesn’t give them what they want, they’ll just take it.
It’s not the first thing the Obama cabinent has done. The FCC imposed “Net Neutrality” a few weeks ago going around Congress.
This is one of the scary reasons why the election next fall might not matter: the Administration will just do whatever it wants too anyway regardless of what Congress does.
This just in:
The EPA has declared that CO2 has been determined to be so hazardous to people’s health, that an emergency regulation will go into effect starting 12-18-09 until further notice. Science has proven that CO2 causes massive global warming which must stop now in order to save the planet. Since all humans exhale CO2 which is greatly contributing to the problem, this emergency regulation is absolutely necessary to preserve life as we know it.
Therefore, all males are henceforth ordered not to exhale on even numbered days of the month, and all females are henceforth ordered not to exhale on odd numbered days of the month. We know that this will be a difficult change in everyone’s daily habits, but we sincerely hope that we have acted in time to save Planet Earth.
Remember, no sacrifice is too great in order to save the planet and this is such a small inconvenience to anyone that full co-operation will be expected. Penalty for non-compliance will be execution and forfeiture of the decedent’s entire estate.
Due to the complexity of managing this problem and dealing with the ongoing world economic crisis as well as the burdens of government, certain goverment leaders, officials and selected others will be exempt from this regulation.
From the EPA, we hope that all of you have fun on your holidays. We know that WE will, (now).

Of course, the 'carbon footprint' caused by construction will be far in excess of anything put out by current operations which use the economy of scale to be more efficient, but the administration, the ecowhackos, and the greenies don't care about that.
The other side of the coin is the 'coin'--the anticipated revenues which can be skimmed, siphoned, and grant-awarded to the FOO (friends of obama).
The looting of America continues...
Truth of the matter is (sad to say) the United States does not have a leader. We have a follower of a agenda that many
Americans have have fought and died over past years in trying to prevent. As each day passes he only makes matters worse for most Americans and he has been in office less than one year. Look at what he has done to our country in that short period and think about what our USA will look like in another three plus years. It seems that our only chance to reclaim our country is 2010 because at the rate things are going 2012 may be too late.
When Americans refuse one evil, force another, much larger evil on them so they will accept the lesser evil. Which is their intent in the first place.
Manipulation through fear. Which Saul Alinski rule is that again? Or is that directly from Joseph Stalin?
Good. Let the EPA pass stupid regulations; vote for a conservative in 2012; put in a new EPA; overturn Obamaregs. Problem solved.
