“We have the bipartisan momentum to ensure that, this fall, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee will report a strong, mandatory climate bill to the full Senate for the first time in U.S. history.”

Ain’t govt grand? A whole new layer of bureaucracy to stifle business.

Full steam ahead.

I wonder if Newsweek in the near future will have an expose about the financial firms financing global warming hysteria.

I think not - would hurt Democrats. Obama and Hillary also have bills in their name written for them by carbon trading firm lobbyists.

Oh what a great plan. Tax energy use and do nothing to actually curb global warming. Can we just give Warner to the Democraps?

"We have to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80 percent by 2050, and probably more, but this legislation proposes just a 70 percent decrease - and most of its decrease comes in the distant future, even though major reductions are needed now," Pica said.

I'm reminded of a Futurama episode. "And I say your three cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough!"

How exactly are we to do the extra work needed to feed the increased number of peoplae 40 years from now with one-third the energy we now use unless they figure out a way to burn air or eat rocks?
