True, Ima, I am a moron. I admit it. It’s amazing I got through so much schooling with such a limited IQ. Can’t type too much more here, though, I gotta get to the Global Warming Church. We’re working to get our Tax-Free status upheld by Internal Revenue. And thanks in advance for your donation to our collection plate.
So very true! Scares the hell out of me. We are retired & have an all-electric house. No natural gas to be had in this area! Our electric bill is already $217.00 per month year round. I can picture it going up to $500.00 per month when Obama gets through. I don’t know how we will survive. Bankruptcy, I guess.
Obama and the Dems plan to use the “crisis” of “the fiscal cliff” to start many, many new taxes on all Americans, beginning maybe with the carbon tax. IMO, the Democrat “solution” will create a New Recession, maybe leading to the 2nd Depression.
People don’t realize that a “small” tax here, and a “small” fee there, soon add up to a lot! The American people are struggling as it is, so piling on additional costs will be a huge burden. American businesses are struggling, so adding additional costs will mean the loss of many jobs.
Soon, the Great Depression will look like a good time compared to what we’ll have!
Unfortunately, that is the goal of this administration. They have already stated that they want the cost of gasoline to go to European levels. It. Is sad that we elected and re-elected this clown.
The statements of this administration, and many folks, for many years, has been that if Americans faced the costs of other countries for fossil fuels, they might finally start to conserve, instead of waste them. About $8.40 a gallon in New Zealand, over $6 for some time in Europe,and oh yes, $0.38 a gallon in Iraq, have shown how “smart” we’ve been. About that $420 per gallon cost to provide fuel to our tanks and trucks in Afghanistan, now THERE is some “clever policy”!!
I believe if you do a little research you will find they are using “bio fuels” and alternative energy sources promoted by the current administration. The cost you quote is a little misleading because it included development and R & D costs.
A Cap and trade program was instituted in California on November 14, 2012. It is another grand plan for California to reduce emissions and develop alternative fuel sources. The 2 year “soft intro period” will probably just give businesses time to relocate to other states. That has been the result of most of California’s environmental programs of late.
Mix a snifter of Bill Mauldin, a dash of Jeff McNelly and a very large dollop of common sense, and you begin to get an idea of Lisa Benson’s considerable talent.

Cap and trade, smoke and mirrors.

Another incremental tax that goes up and up and up… and the morons that worship the global warming religion are happy for others to pay.

Nice try at obfuscation. California has already implemented cap & trade.

Dealing with a problem… that is what this is all about. I’d much appreciate suggestions rather than bunk.
