As I recall the House passed this cap and trade bill in 2009, but it never passed the Senate.

I never understand the reasoning with cap and trade. If carbon pollution is really fouling the environment, then why don’t liberals want to ban it entirely? Cap and trade allows these alleged pollutants to still be produced. It just levies a tax or fee on the output of same.

How is it that liberals are OK with a pollutant being produced as long as someone pays for the right to produce said pollutant??

The alleged pollutant is not any less dangerous just because someone paid their cap and trade tax. What the heck am I missing???

CO2 is so scary, they still won't push for nuclear energy.

Nuclear energy, the only reliable source of energy to reduce current CO2 emissions.
