I think it is a great thing to invest in. Companies that the rich PAY to keep from having to be responsible will probably be a big hit.

If I see any go public, I will probably invest.

There is no limit what the elite will do to keep themselves from doing as they say.

And Al Gore is smart to have started the carbon credit company (to which he consistently pays himself) so that he can sidestep his own "carbon bigfoot-print"

I could have sworn I saw a bunch of conservatives in Congress trying to pass laws to prevent gay marriage, but that's off-topic. I could have there are conservatives all over the placed trying to dictate what a woman can do with her own body, but that's off-topic too, sorry.

Conservatives are even hostile to the pollution credits idea because it's a good idea. Just like their opposition to the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. Whoops off-topic again. I guess the point of this thread is that conservative politicians are hypocrites who constantly oppose excellent ideas.

Youre confusing republicans with conservatives. I dont think anyone has a problem with private citizens paying for environmentally friendly programs. What we are upset about is the hypocrasy that doing so absolves you from excessive pollution.

I know I would not have to pay for past years. The thing is, though, that if I am emitting x tonnes of gas into the air every year, and then suddenly the Government wants me to start paying for it, they seize a right that has previously been mine, i.e. the right to make those emissions.
