That dang house so called energy bill passed, we'll see what happens in the Senate.
Now people here know me, I am WAY in favor of better vehicles and alternative energy, etc, but this thing is a scam. The whole magilla is designed so that ONCE AGAIN the bankster frauds can suck your wealth out.
Cap and trade is the means to do it.
This thing will allow those frauds to stealth tax you, then they get to play with the loot and benefit from it, while doing zero real work, just middleman skimming. Want to know how bad this is with other commodities? Take oil. It is now estimated that a barrel of oil gets traded TWENTY SEVEN times between producer and when it finally gets to the refinery. None of those intermediary steps actually adds any valuie to the oil itself, just electron shuffling. Every step of that way, all those middleman skimmers, every "trade", inflate the cost to you at the pump. Now they want to do the same thing with "carbon" in a carbon based planet! And even then they still claim they don't make enough, they need bailouts and guaranteed loans, etc, that you and me have to pay interest on and fund from tax dollars.
The little alternative energy sops in that bill are in NO way adequate to make up for how much is going to be sucked out of your wallet, not even close. Every facet of modern society is based eventually on carbon, using it, now, various industries will be required to purchase "credits" (as in who really owns all the carbon on the planet anyway), then they get to "trade" them in their scam busywork skimming markets. Every buck they suck out to make themselves richer and to support their expensive manhattan lifestyles will go to make you poorer, the prices of everything will go up, and even more decent middle class jobs will be lost, going to nations that won't be required to "cap" anything.
