This is a list of those who stand to profit financially from the bill. The big bucks will be heading their way soon. Any list of those who support it because it is going to “save the planet”?

“Global warming”? So now the House is protecting us against the climate? Ha!

How many laws are there that prevent the leftist aka progressive treehuggers from investing their own money into alternate sources of energy?
Are there any laws that prevent the leftist aka progressive treehuggers from starting a car company to make green cars that they want?
