Comments on: Time vs. Truth When it Comes to Cap and Trade http://blog.heritage.org/2009/07/01/time-vs-truth-when-it-comes-to-cap-and-trade/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:52:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: dduck, NYC http://blog.heritage.org/2009/07/01/time-vs-truth-when-it-comes-to-cap-and-trade/#comment-40413 dduck, NYC Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:31:59 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=9810#comment-40413 Mr. Alexander, I agree with you, but would like to know how far back the powers that be have dropped the ball. I'm tired of the current administration, be it Dems., or Reps. being blamed. As far as I can recollect it was only Carter who seriously pushed for NP; the rest have just blown smoke. Where has everyone been on NP and how to safely get rid of the toxic nuclear waste problem. And, why are the approval times and fees so high as to discourage new plant construction. Most of the existing plants are 40 year old, I think. If these problems had been worked on seriously for the last 40 years, we would be as smart as the French.. We aren't,and I wonder why. Is it big oil, big coal, dumb administrations and congresses, or what? I'm ready for a good conspiracy theory. Mr. Alexander,

Hopefully the idiots will come to their senses and realize the corruption and that no finance from any taxpayers is necessary at all!

In the very near future, unless Americans stand up and fight, we will wake up one morning and our dollars will be worthless, our jobs probably previously already lost, no way to buy food or gas as their price is beyond what anyone can afford, and only the extraordinarily wealthy will be able to survive. They are planning their moves right now. Who ever moves first...WINS their side. Which side are you on?

Another so-called crisis that is seen as an opportunity for robbing us Chicago street thug style. Now we begin the greatest theft of our freedoms and personal wealth ever attempted by the Washington elite. This diversion by Time to call into question the truthfulness of the Heritage Foundation's serious research exposes the extent of their corruption and will hopefully hasten their demise. The loss of GDP as correctly disclosed by the Heritage study is unimaginable when coming from a single legislative act. By restricting the private sector consumption of energy, from any and all sources, there can be no economic recovery or human advancement by any measure. Not even the sacred pursuit of alternative sources of energy is possible without the tremendous consumption of energy. All this because of the fabricated assumption that micro increases in atmospheric CO2 is the overwhelming cause for rising global temperatures. In effect Congress has now decided to regulate (control and tax) our collective breathing, both to sustain life and to engage in commercial enterprise. So much for the the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - NOT IF IT EMITS CO2! We are being led by the insane!

Global warmning or cap and trade. The major green house gas is water vapor, CO2 is almost negligible. The solution is nuclear power. No Co2, no imported oil and we will not worry about running out of oil. Issue permits for five new nuclear power plants each year for the next 20 years, or until we have so much electricity that we are the envy of the world. Choose a simple dependable design and make them all the same, like the Liberty ships of World War II. Have we already forgotten the lessons of the Greatest Generation? Build a reprocessing plant, maybe at the Yucca mountain site. This choice will create tens of thousands of high paying jobs. The French started a similar plan 40 years ago and now generate 80% of their electricity from nuclear power. It seems the French have been the visionaries. See "Discover" (June 2009 pages 54-57). Two important points, the average cost of generating nuclear energy in the United states was less than two cents per kilowatt-hour in 2006 and a number of environmentalists are throwing their support behind nuclear power because it is clear that no technology will do more than nuclear to reduce our use of fossil fuels. Everyone gains and no one need give up their energy intensive activities. We have been given a false choice.
