Hey, didn't Obama say that he was going to have rich people foot the bills?
Hello inflation!
You are right, it is being used to redistribute wealth.

There is another consequence to consider as energy prices get higher due to cap-and-trade forcing us to use a fraction of the oil that we are using today: this is that many of the things we use today will either have to be re-made with other materials or we'll have to do without them.
