Go soak your head.

There is no such THING as a Democrat memeber of Congress you insufferable MORON. Since you are too stupid to even know the name of the largest political party in the United States you should just realize you are too ignorant to be taken seriously and STFU

Power IS corrupting and YOU are advising we give MORE to corporations. This libertarian idea that only the power given to government matters doesnt make sense. Right NOW corporations have too much power in our society.

Your entire brain seems hemmed in by talking points that you seem to think become true because you say them. If these energy corporations pass on that cost and green energy dont have those costs to pass on then it will make green energy more competitive and so there is no reason to believe that it WONT address the problem.

And when some of them DO pan out and we lessen our dependence on foriegn oil and get more economic, clean and sustainable energy wont that be WORTH the investment? The free market is not a God given imperative it is a man made construct that we can help better serve societies needs BEYOND pure greedy self interest.

You are a mindless moronic troll without a shred of decency. You are an ignorant punk. No one cares what lies and stupidity you want to regurgitate on this message board. I dont even read your posts anymore I just see your nick and start giving you the insults you so richly deserve you lying, racist, ignorant cretin

Talk about a decaying civilization. Plato is chuckling again!

Marsha Blackburn is my Congressman.
She is no conservative.

you idiots have it backwards. “Global warming” or no wait since its cooler now “climate change” hhaa is a myth. A way for the government to mandate what we buy and how much energy we use. A waste of money and you guys are too stupid to figure out it will actually cost you more money not just rich people.

If Climate Change is a myth, why would the government care what I bought or how much energy I used?
You better be careful, the government might be monitoring your local grocery store to make sure you are eating properly!

Next week, Republicans will be shilling for the pro-gun lobby, then the pharmacutical lobby, then the anti-abortion lobby, then the radical religious right lobby, then the anti-gay lobby, then the tobacco lobby, then the pro-war lobby, etc, etc…..

Power is corrupting, giving too much of it to a small group of people in Washington has contributed to many of our current problems.

With $40 billion/year in profits, how much power do you think Exxon has?

I agree that we shouldn’t place all of our faith in the free markets, but I do believe that the balance point is not in the middle, it is somewhere between the two but closer to the free markets. Power is corrupting, giving too much of it to a small group of people in Washington has contributed to many of our current problems. Its a bad idea to give them even more with the President’s huge taxing and spending budget.

I see your points, but the consumer will still end up paying this cap and trade tax, and that is truly unfair.

The problem that is so conveniently ignored when talking about ‘free markets’ is that the market isn’t free at all. It’s a rigged game, designed so that the party in power (large corporate interests) remain in power at the expense of all else. Deregulation fosters rampant corporate consolidation, which leads to less competition. Meanwhile, huge subsidies are given to the oil, coal and gas industries to keep their own profits high while selling cheap commodities, not to mention tarrifs and other levies protecting domestic interests.

It’s disingenuous in the extreme to imply that the market is ‘free’.

We can send emails till our fingers blister, complaining about their poor reporting — maybe an authoritative voice would be heard by them.

I can see we have no common ground.

I think we do, it’s just that you seem to place undue faith in the ‘free market’ to correct social problems; something it has almost universally failed at.

When corporations are taxed, they usually pass that cost on.

True.

So the cap and trade tax does nothing to advance the push to cleaner energy.

Not necessarily true. Higher ‘dirty’ energy costs will push consumers to either reduce their usage or look for alternatives.

We need tax INCENTIVES to encourage private businesses to explore new sources of clean energy, and we need to give them the rights to do it. They WILL do what makes business sense for them. If it is more profitable to produce clean energy, they will do that. Making it more expensive to produce dirty energy is not the same thing as an incentive to produce clean energy!

These are not mutually exclusive. Both can be employed.
