"So then I asked this senior official if the campaign has taken cap-and-trade out behind the barn and shot it dead once and for all — buried it in history’s dustbin of bad ideas. The answer came back that they are interested in jobs right now — jobs for new energy production and jobs from lower taxes. At that point I became satisfied. Even though a McCain presidency might resurrect cap-and-trade, it will be a much different format. More important, the campaign is cognizant of the conservative rebellion against it.

That’s enough for me."

Good news indeed!

More likely part of the “I gotta say whatever it takes to get elected” effect.

“That's good enough for me.”

Well, it's not good enough for me. Someone needs to ask John McCain directly, (not one of his advisers, who he attacks every other day) and get him on the record. I still don't trust him.

[TADSLOS]

Fat chance. McCain’s too pig headed to reverse his stance on anything involving a reach around with his liberal friends just to appease conservatives.

Hey Larry, go to McCain's web site under the issue of climate change.

"John McCain's Cap and Trade Policy

John McCain Proposes A Cap-And-Trade System That Would Set Limits On Greenhouse Gas Emissions While Encouraging The Development Of Low-Cost Compliance Options. A climate cap-and-trade mechanism would set a limit on greenhouse gas emissions and allow entities to buy and sell rights to emit, similar to the successful acid rain trading program of the early 1990s. The key feature of this mechanism is that it allows the market to decide and encourage the lowest-cost compliance options.

How Does A Cap-And-Trade System Work?

A cap-and-trade system harnesses human ingenuity in the pursuit of alternatives to carbon-based fuels. Market participants are allotted total permits equal to the cap on greenhouse gas emissions. If they can invent, improve, or acquire a way to reduce their emissions, they can sell their extra permits for cash. The profit motive will coordinate the efforts of venture capitalists, corporate planners, entrepreneurs, and environmentalists on the common motive of reducing emissions.

Greenhouse Gas Emission Targets And Timetables

2012: Return Emissions To 2005 Levels (18 Percent Above 1990 Levels)

2020: Return Emissions To 1990 Levels (15 Percent Below 2005 Levels)

2030: 22 Percent Below 1990 Levels (34 Percent Below 2005 Levels)

2050: 60 Percent Below 1990 Levels (66 Percent Below 2005 Levels)

The Cap And Trade System Would Allow For The Gradual Reduction Of Emissions.

The cap and trade system would encompass electric power, transportation fuels, commercial business, and industrial business – sectors responsible for just below 90 percent of all emissions. Small businesses would be exempt. Initially, participants would be allowed to either make their own GHG reductions or purchase "offsets" – financial instruments representing a reduction, avoidance, or sequestration of greenhouse gas emissions practiced by other activities, such as agriculture – to cover 100 percent of their required reductions. Offsets would only be available through a program dedicated to ensure that all offset GHG emission reductions are real, measured and verifiable. The fraction of GHG emission reductions permitted via offsets would decline over time.

Can anyone really know what McCain would do as President? I don’t believe anything he says.

It seems like McCain would just screw everything up by trying to be on both sides of most issues. The one thing he has going for him:

That Obama would screw everything up by trying to convert this nation into a marxist paradise. He’d play checkers with Ahmadinejad, Raul, and Hugo. And turn his back on patriotic Americans and friendly nations like Colombia.

It’s a special effect. It’ll be bock.

This is the only thing I have read that has had any impact on my opposition to John McCain. I know I will not vote for B. Hussein Obama, and I have not made up my mind about voting for John McCain; but this from Thomas Sowell deserves serious thought:

“Nor were elections set up in order to enable voters to vent their emotions or indulge their fantasies.

Voting is a right but it is also a duty — a duty not just to show up on election day, but a duty to give serious thought to the alternatives on the table and what those alternatives mean for the future of the nation.”

McCain joined Joseph Lieberman to author and three different global warming bills. One of them required new carbon taxes on gasoline, oil, coal and natural gas.
