Why would a business with a monopoly stranglehold over its consumers care about taxes? They would simply pass the increased costs to their customers.

They actually believe that they will be allowed to build new plants under the dems?

They naively think adding cost to coal- and gas-fired plants will stimulate demand for nuclear power- which they won’t be allowed to build....

Count Dow Chemical among the co-conspirators. Their CEO, Andrew Liveris, is an outspoken proponent of Cap & Tax. Today comes an article stating Dow stands to make billions selling solar roof tiles, which will certainly be subsidized by you and me.

Fascism, this is how it works ... Starts with crony capitalism.

The good news is you just look at the dates of the EOs and make one EO that nullifys the whole date range. What Obama did...

The financial planners at the mega corps have nothing to lose by agreeing to trade an artificial commodity, “carbon credit”, created by the government and allocated initially at a government rigged price. The government cannot set the initial price so that the initial holders lose, or no one would participate, and, simultaneously the government’s regulatory demands for CO2 reduction will immediately boost the “market value” of the never-enough credits the government issues. Its a rigged system that will actually cost most, and hurt the most, precisely those companies in need of actually spending money on R&D instead of wasting it on “carbon credits” to keep existing operations within legal, EPA limits.

a political environment driven by Global Warming Alarmists is actually good for people who build nuke plants (unless you are living in a country where energy policy is dictated by musty old Jane Fonda movies). So they are acting in their self-interest, which companies will always do.
