You are absolutely right.We are already the most efficient at protecting the environment.The others will not change their methods.These so called anointed educated ones lack in common sense.Common sense is the little fact that really makes one Intelligent.
It's not about the environment. The bill is about the government gaining more control. They don't care that companies will move overseas with their jobs. They want control.
I seem to remember Obama in front of a large group of coal miners talking about the virtures of using "clean coal energy in the 21st century"... what happened to that or was it just "campaigning" , meaning He's a liar?
Your right on about that Julia, I see this as taking more of our money and limiting our freedom. This whole cap and trade will not make one bit of difference to our environment but it will make those in Washington very wealthy.
