#1 You Republican politicians don't get it. The opposition party is all Karl Marx. When they have taken total control of the energy sector, they have totalitorian/despotic control of the population.

#2 In effect a subsidy on the creation of carbon credits that are then sold on to western companies.

What a scam.

#3 We no longer accept cash or checks (which are essentially worthless now anyway). Natural Gas and electricity will cost you nothing in Obamaland. You will be issued carbon credit stamps for utilities payment based on your actual needs.

#4 So I googled "hydrocarbon emissions by country" and, as you may have guessed, China emits a heckuva lot more than the United States.

But somehow that doesn't stop people from blaming those bad, bad energy producers and consumers in this country for man made global warming.

The next step in the cognitive process is to ask why China pollutes more than we do. IMHO at least part of the answer is our trade policy with China. We encourage them to do our manufacturing for us and then we wonder why so many of our people are unemployed.
