Hypocrites. The fizz is carbon dioxide being released into the air. The 'tingle of the tongue' is carbonic acid, carbon dioxide dissolved in water. All across the continent, carbon dioxide in containers is delivered to businesses where it is injected into water, mixed with syrups, and given to people to drink... even children. See <a href="http://www.nuco2.com" rel="nofollow">www.nuco2.com</a> Ban artifically carbonated beverages or tax them. The deficit could be helped. Five cents per ounce.... many millions of dollars a day. Carbon tax on soft drinks is not yet mentioned.

Speakings, Ri Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:04:14 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=18476#comment-65052 The cuts in carbon dioxide emissions in the Cap and Trade bill will not be enough to stem the tide of carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere. Caps and carbon taxes are punative and must be enforced. An alternative idea is to find good uses for carbon dioxide emissions, such as increasing growth of crops by air enrichment, and tranformation into products that can be sold. This priciple hold true for other emissions and waste as well. By puttting emissions to productive uses we can create an economic stimulus and save the cost that comes with underground sequestration. In order to stem the tide of carbon dioxide increase we must adopt a zero net carbon emissions policy. We must do this whether the rest of the world follows or not by doing so we will know that the United States of America has done all it can to fight global warming. Indeed Costa Rica, Norway, Iceland,and New Zealand have already pledged to achieve zero net carbon emissions. Now is the time for the United States of America to shun half measures and set an example for the whole wide world by adopting, implementing, and achieving a zero net carbon emissions policy as quickly as possible, right here, right now.

IMO this one area in which the GOP is still weak. Many are wising up to the fact that they need to get back to conservative principles to win back control and save America in 2010 and 2012 – i.e., stop profligate spending and earmarks, and cut taxes and regulations to cure the recession and grow the economy. But many in the GOP are wimps when it comes to the greatest threat to America and its liberty and economy – the enviro-statists. And in some cases they go along with this fringe group. It’s not about clean air or water. It’s about destroying America by, i.e., protecting kangaroo rats, cutting off water to protect fish; not to mention the high price of Cap & Trade (the biggest tax hike ever with no benefits!!) to deal with the global warming hoax!! Republicans need to stand up, and expose the radical anti-American and anti-capitalist agenda of this fringe group, and hopefully flush out this fringe movement.
