Global warming is a cyclical phenomenon and all the legislation in the world will not alter that cycle! Meanwhile, we, the taxpayers are left holding the bag.

We won't come out ahead no matter how they try to spin it. Like everyone is saying, there will be a very few people who are set to make a lot of money if this goes through. And why aren't we building nuclear plants? Europe is building them like crazy. But then they probably have to, since they spent all their money on a health care program that doesn't work. There isn't any money left to tax energy. Totally against Cap and Trade. We won't come out ahead no matter how they try to spin it.

DeSpain Tue, 01 Sep 2009 16:48:39 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=13817#comment-52533 Very poor analogy. Realistically we are talking about taking away from the average American family, (keep in mind the Obama poor with the free medical care will be bypassed on this one) #300.00 a year. And that is just for the first year! Combine that with States like the one I live in, Oregon, and you can add another $200.00 for the first year! Now this comes out of what is called your "Free Money". the left over stuff after paying all the other bills, including all the with holding taxes! Next year double it! It increases annually through 2025! On top of all that realize that the USA pollutes the world's atmosphere less that 2% compared to the rest of the World's industrial nations, and they are going to do nothing! The result of what we hop to accomplish is a reduction of 20% to 30% of 2%! The result is the Bureaucrats get a hole lot of money, for very little action on their part! This past Summer America has been putting in Prison people for running this kind of, "Con Game." Don't fall for it. Don't fall into it! Hozro Very poor analogy.

It rarely gets mentioned. I read that one medical study showed that people living near windmills incur various maladies due to the low frequency noise that emanates from the windmills. Let's do more drilling and build those nuclear plants. Where is nuclear generation in all of this? It rarely gets mentioned.

But that’s just part of it: But that’s just one small chapter in the book on how an average family of four’s pocketbook would be hit. Cap and trade is a massive tax on energy across the board – so your electricity bills will rise and so will everything else – gasoline, natural gas, and home heating oil. Add it up and the family of four energy expenditures increase on average by $69 per month from 2012-2035. Because the carbon caps become more stringent in subsequent years, the costs are highest in 2035 at $103 per month in the form of direct higher energy prices.
