Our Drive To Green Nirvana

I am of course not talking the particular shade of green that graces our currency. That green you can kiss goodbye as cap and trade takes effect at an estimated cost of near $4,000 per U.S. family. As Democratic Rep. John Dingell mentions in the video below, this will be a massive hidden tax on the U.S. public.



That said, this portends to be a gargantuan cash cow for people with business interests in companies ready to capitalize on cap and trade. Al Gore, of course, is one such person. While capitalism creates wealth, socialism removes wealth from the majority of society - that is, of course, but for the socialist overlords and their friends.

As I mention in posts below, the claim of global warming that cap and trade is supposed to address has actually already been addressed by the penultimate decision maker - the sun. We are in a period of global cooling and the sun has gone into an inactive phase that may well signal a long phase of global cooling. The computer models the IPCC and Al Gore have relied upon to support the global warming canard are becoming ever more divorced from reality.

Indeed, globabl warming skeptics were ready to pounce on Al Gore when he appeared at a hearing before the odious Henry Waxman's energy committee yesterday. The hearing concerned the cap and trade bill. Given that vigirous debate is at the heart of a working democracy, the radical lefties on the committee refused Republicans the right to have their alternative, Lord Monkton, testify along with Gore. The left are hellbent on achieving their goals and will allow no dissenting voice get in their way.

I truly doubt that we will recognize America by 2012.
