Cap & Trade has reared it's ugly head again, this time at the state level. Of course, it had to be California. The wronginess of this is difficult quantify.
First State Cap-and-Trade Plan Brought Back to Life
Interesting to see the lines connected.
One thing that used to bother me, but that I will admit to participating in, was the art of buying off political leaders in exchange for temporary legislative protection. Its a sad fact that businesses are pushed into a relationship with government...

I saw this article, surprisingly, in Newsweek and thought it made sense. Of course, it is by Karl Rove.

Thanks Clif45 for the link.
If private utility companies offer this on their own, that is one thing.
When the Federal Government steps in - delivering taxpayer money or to administer energy oversight - I am against it.
It is not surprising to me that the push for this "smart meter"...
From Cooler Heads Digest, a summary of climate change-related news:
Right now the States take care of their own building codes... we don't need any more intrusive federal government. This whole bill is a disaster.

As an entrepreneur and resident of Ohio I am used to swimming upstream. Ohio's economy never actually recovered from the 2001 recession. We have been hemorrhaging jobs and population for over a decade. Except for two nuclear power...
Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO), is the largest utility country in the state. They finally have come out and started warning people of how badly this law could hurt its customers. Better late than never. Indiana is going to get creamed if this passes. I'd be surprised if...

Sen. Graham crosses the aisle to work with Kerry, Democrats on Senate cap-and-trade bill
Over the weekend, news emerged that South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is now working with Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry on his cap-and-trade legislation.
In a Sunday New York Times...
Cap & Trade is being pushed into the Senate finally, apparently since Health Care Reform is being impeded. John Kerry is now labeling it the "Pollution Reduction" bill.
This legislation is the most dangerous bill yet, moreso than Obamacare. And it has seen the least amount of coverage and...

I don't throw that word around lightly.
Both movements are about Government control. Both involve heavy regulation and bans on arbitrary things. Both facilitate Government rationing the use of natural resources. Both oppress the...
Obama: US `determined to act' on climate change
UNITED NATIONS – President Barack Obama on Tuesday declared that the United States is a serious partner in combating global warming, telling world peers "we are determined to act."
"The journey is hard. And we don't have much time left to make...
The Senate climate debate has largely been in standby mode since June, but Environment and Public Works Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) is ready to kick-start the process with the release next week of a draft bill.
Sources off Capitol Hill say they expect Boxer to start legislative...
Treasury documents show the true cost of cap and trade. After releasing heavily redacted documents earlier in the week they had to release the whole thing. Notice that they did it on Friday, so people wouldn't notice. If you actually write or call you congress things now's the time to do it...
They said it plain as day in their own words. Cap & Trade will cause electricity prices to rise. It is projected to be a lot more than a "postage stamp per day" by the watchdogs. Some say your utility bills will more likely be double or triple your current cost. Cap & Trade will cause our...
What impacts might it have on Indiana and Hoosier sportsmen.
Somebody give me some real facts on this legislation and the pro's and con's on this bill and why I should support it or why I should not.
The bill has already passed the House of Representatives and is now up for Senate...
