So, he’s still hell bent on doing in the coal industry, even though current consensus is that global warming is no longer a threat?

And here he and Congress could simply appropriate some money or write up a tax break as an incentive for companies to develop clean technologies and more efficient CO2 sequestration. But no, he'd rather make us all miserable as he imposes control on every sector of the economy. That's exactly what it's all about.....Control...
But just not over every sector of the economy, but every facet of our lives.

This SOB will take us all down. A massive tax increase on business, in the middle of a recession we are too sickened to start to calling a depression?
We are trapped in a lifeboat with a deranged man. who has started to smash apart the boat,,,,
America is the earth’s lifeboat nation,,,there is no place left to flee to.

What State can I walk into a book store and not be bombarded with tables full of Obama books and racks full of Obama magazines.. I know it's Black History month, but I betcha it won't end there..

Hussein is determined to fulfill his mission of destroying the American economy. It's not Hussein. Hussein is just the idiot figurehead leader of the party. You could put Democrat X in place of Hussein and the policy proposals coming out of the White House would be identical. For us to bitch and whine about this is pointless. We knew this was going to happen,if not so much so soon. Short of winning back a majority in Congress there is little we can do.

Is the government going to have to buy carbon credits?
More to the point: Will the Office of the President have to pay carbon credits for all that 747 pollution?
Or does the Messiah own the sky?

I love how Obama’s plan to cut the deficit is heavily dependent upon the release of greenhouse gasses.

Why doesnt Obama just go out, plant some trees, and leave the rest of us alone? Because this has nothing whatsoever to do with CO2, glowbull warming, or saving the planet. This is a tool designed to aid in wealth redistribution. Period.

Is that right away, or in some arbitrary year that he chose (e.g., 2050)? The latter. It's a number that justifies, "We have to do all we can," without accountability or efficacy, otherwise known as "selective and situational enforcement."

I guess if enough people just amended their W-4 to reflect no witholding and then didn't pay on April 15 there wouldn't be enough jails to hold them all.It isn't illegal to file for an extension is it? What if millions of people filed for extensions and just kept making legal excuses to put off paying?

I do see financial market trading greenhouse gas permit. Perhaps the next bubble in the works?

You only get extensions for 4 to 6 months.
Bottom line is that the GOP has to have leaders that will take up the cause of the people who pay taxes and start fighting the class war against the lazy sons of bitches who voted for a socialist and are now being rewarded by him.
Why the GOP does not counter attack in the class war is dumbfounding, it's a one way street.
The message to taxpayers should be to give yourself a W-4 tax cut today and send Hussein an IOU on April 15.

So what? They take in more Co2 during the day than they release at night. My point is that CO2 is a normal, natural part of living processes. The damn politicians have no business labeling it as a "pollutant" and trying to destroy the economy by taxing it.

Whats next? A fart tax?Sure, why not? It wouldn't be difficult to do. They just come up with a scientific evaluation of the average amount of flatulence created by eating a specific quantity of beans, broccoli, etc. and levy the tax on those products.
It's just a darned shame that it will hit vegetarians and vegans more than meat eaters but, as VP Biden said, "it's time to be part of the deal."
