This whole thing doesn't make any sense.

If libs want to be carbon neutral, well first of all they can't be, they're carbon based life forms, but if they want to pretend to be carbon neutral they stop exhaling.

They can inhale all they want, though.

If you ask me (and, no one did), this sounds less like "big green" and more like "big scam", "big fraud", "big baga BS"!! Of couse, it doesn't surprise me that a master scammer like Gore would be caught up in this.

Two Lithiums?

But, seriously, folks... Maybe we should start replacing the Presidents on our currency with periodic chart elements, and convert our economy to trading carbon elements.

Many of these companies have already made reductions in "carbon" because of the clean air act. They were required to use Best Available Control Technology when they installed a new power plant or plant process. If they burned coal they switched to natural gas. These controls were for NOx and Sulfur Dioxide...it just so happens that they will also be producing less CO2. I don't see any company on the list that would be forced to pay, but I'll keep looking. Many of these companies made reductions in the late 1990's or maybe a bit later. Many of these companies have exemptions for some of their "carbon" just because they have the newest technology.

Here's a good question for ya: Who decides who gets exempted? These people are banking that they will have a choice and that they will all make money because they got in early. These people are speculating and actively lobbying congress for their type of carbon trading.

I am sure that Algore is probably buying up land so that his peon mexican labor can plant trees on it or something.

If he buys carbon credits from the same company that pays him a salary for selling carbon credits does that make him carbon credit neutral?

Don't worry...you can't get in the market unless you are a member and pay a modest fee of around 300K and have a net worth over 11 million or so.

Carbon is trading around $4 per metric ton of CO2.

Sure is...his company is paying some farmer around 200K to sit on his land and not plow it so he can sequester carbon for them. They buy all his "sequestered carbon" for pennies on the dollar and then trade it to morons at $3 to $4...some say this may go as high as $30 to $40...then they make out like the POS lying bandits that they are. Oh yeah...they make about a nickel on the trade coming and going out of the exchange too for good measure.
