Replying to: dave8697 (Jun 26, 2009 8:43 am) As I said the other day in 1 of these forums, the government's programs are pushing me closer and closer to dropping out of the workforce as an engineer, as I can probably live just as well in a low-income bracket, where I can get these subsidies, instead of paying them!  Anyway here in New England we had about 2-3 days above 80F as highs, and we're headed back down into the 60's by Mon. This cool weather is keeping people from producing CO2 as it's too cold to head to the lakes or beach, and that water is still mighty cold, as we've had little sunshine. I sure hope Tata and Chery get more SUV's on the road, and they get 2 coal-plants/day fired up.

Replying to: kernick (Jun 26, 2009 9:34 am) No one saw that Darryl Hannah and *surprise* James Hansen got arrested? Hansen of NASA Arrested in Coal Country (NY Times) Oh, Hansen doesn't favor cap-and-trade either and opposes the bill the House just passed. |

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 26, 2009 12:38 pm) Who do you think is going to get rich buying/selling/exchanging carbon credits, setting up new derivatives etc. WALL STREET !! But I digress. The costs we consumers will pay if this becomes law will dwarf everything else in our history. It is pure GREED by politicians at our expense. Votes today are not based on what the people want, they are based on what the politicians can personally get out of it. |
