Al Gore never read the “proposal”, ie. “one of the most important pieces of legislation ever introduced to Congress.” Damned few people alive in the whole world read the over 13,00-1,600 pages. Having worked for Congress when bills were shorter, I know that after the first ten pages of garbarge, your head hits the desk and stays there. Most bills are unreadable, period.

If James Hansen can criticize the bill, then Hell has frozen over. Get out the ice-skates and hot toddies.

“Cap N Trade” is another Al Gore scam, like his movie and global-warming fearmongering. He has already made millions in these smoke and mirror schemes of selling carbon credits to idiots who don’t realize that what they are doing will only make Gore richer, and does nothing for air quality.

I’ve worked on “clean air/power plants” cases and it is a much more complicated issue than you know. Under Obama’s regime, and with the help of his cronies in various govt offices, the coal industry and related energy industry will be crippled, miners will be thrown out of work in regions where there are no other jobs, and energy prices will shoot thru the roof, hurting the very people this “new” policy was supposed to help.

Truckers are going to be put out of business if they have to retrofit diesel trucks with very expensive CARB-based equipment. The trucking industry is already challenging California’s “in-use engine emission standards for diesel-fuel transport refrigeration units and transportation refrigeration unit generator sets operating in California (American Trucking Association v. EPA (D.C. Cir).

If truckers get hit with very expensive emissions standards for their already very expensive trucks, they might just boycott California’s vegetable and fruit industry, thus throwing more people out of work. But hey, the Governator and the Legislature has just done that with about 40,000 people by cutting off water supplies to one of the most productive growing regions in the state. Just ask comedian Paul Rodriquez, who is also a farmer, what the “human cost” of California’s environmental water policies, is.

We need for nuclear energy, more oil refineries (with the newest clean-air equipment), and tax-breaks for the coal-energy industry for their research in producing clearner emissions from caol-fired power plants.

Wind power isn’t going to do a damned thing for 99% of America. Hell, Ted Kennedy and his bunch of elite snobs in Massachusetts won’t let them put up windmills miles out to sea. It’s NIMBY – let the peasants have them where they live. We are rich, powerful, and white bread. None of this “practice what you preach” for us. Kennedys tell others how to live. The people don’t tell us how to live. We have enough money to avoid this crassness on behalf of the masses.

If you want to stop spewing CO2 into the atmosphere, die!. Yeah, just drop dead. That will cut your carbon footprint down to zero.

You can also put ass-gas bags on cows and gas-collecting masks on them, and sheep, and reindeer, etc., if you can catch them.

Obama has already cost many of his union supporters their jobs, so I’m sure that they are not happy that ACES will create 1.7 million new jobs and “save consurmers over $22 billion in 2020 alone.”

I’m worried about living thru 2010, 2011, 2012, when Obama will have given us debts in the TRILLIONS. $22 billion is a spit in the ocean, and with falling tax revenues, you will be an old man on Social Security, if it is still around, when 2020 comes around.

Get a real job. Build a car that people can afford. Build a house that people can afford. Build a bridge, a road, a power plant. Your Energy Action Coalition will have a lot of unemployed “youths” if today’s working people don’t have jobs, and soon. Government handouts and payoffs are not going to around forever.
