“”Carbon Credits form the same folks who floated the BTU Tax a few years back””

Actually its worse. I’ve seen some oil industry types say that something is inevitable, so they are advocating a tax over carbon trading be imposed on themselves. I have no sympathy for them, but they are right about carbon trading being a joke.

I’ve seen no media outlet take on the big money behind cap and trade. I’ve seen some things in WSJ in the past, like a single opinion piece denouncing carbon trading long ago, but nothing since. They are probably waiting to see which waay their readership thinks they can best game the market.

A couple of times the WSJ was the leaking ground to say that Bush was thinking about joing up with Europe in the scam, but hopefully this was just disinfo to keep the British hopeful we’ll buy into their scam, while they threaten an Iraq pullout.
