Cap and Trade and the Illusion of the New Green Economy

I don’t think Al Gore in his wildest dreams could have imagined how successful the “climate crisis” movement would become. It is probably safe to assume that this success is not so much the result of Gore’s charisma as it is humanity’s spiritual need to be involved in something transcendent – like saving the Earth.

My Comments: And the kicker is...Al Gore isn't even a scientist...He's a failed politician. I feel like this fact is a punchline to a stand up comics joke...sadly it isn't.

And who will decide how many credits will initially be given by the government to each company/farm/industry? Does anyone expect that these decisions will be impartial, without political favoritism shown toward one company over another, or one industry over another? This is one reason why some high-profile corporations are now on the global warming bandwagon. They (or at least a few of their executives) are trying to position themselves more favorably in what they see to be an inevitable energy-rationed economic system.

My Comments: This thing was born out of corrupt minds and all decisions will be made based on who kisses the rings of the politicians.

The only answer I can come up with is: more money and more power for government. As a former government employee, I am familiar with the mindset. While the goal of a private sector job is to create wealth, the government employee’s main job is to spend as much of that wealth as possible. A government agency’s foremost goal is self preservation, which means perpetuating a public need for the agency.

My Comments: Bingo! This is the point of the whole thing. Money from you to the Govt...This is s great article and there are simply too many great points to outline. A must read.
