Found this:


I can't see how cap-and-trade won't be anything but an economy damping bill. About the only good thing I see out of cap-and-trade is Republican rule.

yes, virtually anything that is manufactured and has mass but even downloaded software takes power so its pretty much everything. and thats over and above one's own personal energy consumption.

and all to not even put a dent in global carbon output.

but of course thats not the point of this anyway.

only a blithering idiot would buy this crap.

but then again there are still some people who think CO2 is the culpret.

heanven help us..... the polititians yen for money is insatiable....
