I disagree. You don't "save the planet" by getting in bed with the hoaxers and John Kerry to put together legislation that KILLS the USA economy just to get a "maybe ok" for nuclear and drilling. No, you stay away from the "lefties" who want the cap and trade bs ... you make YOUR OWN legislation to make Nuclear and Drilling happen ... then you get energy independence WITHOUT fleecing the American Public to pay for "carbon credits" which are total BS. NO to tacking these GOOD things onto a BAD piece of legislation just to (maybe!) get them. Stop with the CAP and TRADE talk, start with the Nuclear Now, Drill Here Now and handcuff the EPA now. As I said in my comments at "the flag" ... if he made these happen WITHOUT "lefty" legislation, then I would support him ... most conservatives would.

The Patriot's Flag - Graham on Climate Change

The problem with making your own legislation is that it will have no chance of passing given the current composition of the house. The left instinctively shys away from drilling for oil because they associate oil production with big multinational business and pollution, and they automatically shy from nuclear plants because nuclear power is “bad” (of course, there is no logic in this thinking, because its all done on emotion rather than reason, but that is how left-wingers work). BUT, if you append these proposals onto whatever bullcrap type climate change bill they are pushing, they are in a quandary. Nuclear power is indisputably “carbon-neutral”, and increasing oil production is indisputably good for the economy (as well as improving security). So how can they oppose such measures in a bill that is supposed to improve quality of life and reduce the amount of CO2 being produced? I can put up with them reducing industrial pollution, not because of the miniscule effect (if any) its going to have on climate but because reducing pollution is a darn good thing to do anyway. The easiest way for most businesses to reduce pollution is just simply to become more efficient.
