With words, like bio-diversity,carbon offsets, carbon footprints, habitual environmental patterns, and a whole host of other words made up by the environmental business associations and their supporters. You all are now beginning to see the results in the massive cap and trade scheme. Make no mistake this bill has NOTHING to do about energy AT ALL!!!!. In fact this bill has everything to do with establishing a market where none existed before as political payback for those who support this nonsense. Want to see the results of cap and trade look at the unemployment numbers among young people in the European Union that trades in carbon offsets . In places like Spain and France it's as high as 30%. The very premise that you can create "green jobs" from a bill that overtaxes energy when those so called "green jobs" are already offshore is a myth of epic proportions just like most of the environmental business is.
You have several companies namely G.E. and others that stand to rake in billions of dollars at taxpayer expense by trading in carbon offsets. What is funny here, the same democrats who were demonizing Wall Street are now singing the praises of "FREE MARKETS" when it comes to this so called Global Warming marketing scam. What many people do not understand is these so called "green jobs" are going to be created, but NOT HERE. They are going to be created where they exist already and guess where the largest suppliers of things like solar panels, lithium ion batteries, wind technology are? It's not in the United States . What is really absurd in this bill is the fact that people actually believe this rubbish and will push it at any cost. People like AL Gore , and Jeffry Immelt are no doubt dancing for joy today because of the billions of dollars they stand to make on the destruction of this nation.
In an interview with
EurActiv, John Krenicki, president and CEO of GE Energy, says that his company is already investing in clean-energy technologies, in anticipation of the carbon-trading process inspiring a similar measure in the US.

So tell me again, how noble and wonderful the climate change bill is, when it is nothing more than
a ponzi scheme bought and paid for by the American taxpayers. Here is the biggest and perhaps the funniest thing of all. After spending literally Trillions of taxpayer dollars , raising energy costs in perhaps the worst economic recession in recent memory this bill according to the EPA will only and that is provided EVERY nation on EARTH adopt a similar stance, change global temps by .02 degrees. I'm sure China and India will be happy to come to the U.S. for cheap beads and painted rocks because pretty soon thats all this nation is going to be able to produce if congress keeps passing bills that payoff political lobbys and keep committing FRAUD against our nation. I thought it worth mentioning what the definition of a FRAUD is for all you who don't read beyond the daily KOS or MSNBC....

The truth is this nation has the resources to be a vibrant, strong, and economically sound nation for many years to come. It takes a nation willing to do the hard work necessary to get there and so far this nation cannot do that, as long as we are willing to sacrifice our future to other nations.
Our future and our childrens future depend on strong and vibrant nation willing to use ALL its resources in and environmentally sound way for the benefit of this nation. If we choose the path that we have chosen with this crappy trade bill, future generations will look back fondly on the standards of livings that we and our parents had as they struggle to sell trinkets to visiting Chinese tourists.
