To: American Dream 246

$1.2 MILLION per YEAR??? For crying out loud, when you factor in all the wasted resources chasing chimera energy sources like solar and windmills, the opportunity cost of not building REAL and reliable powerplants, the shutdown of many new construction projects, the state waste on “energy commissions,” the outlawing of lightbulbs, the insane energy regulations on our buildings and vehicles, the huge price hikes in our food supply because we put food into our gas tanks, the starving of third-world peasants because we chauvinistically put food into our gas tanks, the driving of our jobs to Asia because of lunatic energy regs — the real annual cost has to be three orders of magnitude greater than this.

Right! Not to mention the incalculable costs in loss of freedom! And the sheer aggravation . . .

Exactly. It's more like somewhere in the billions every year and is really unmeasurable because you can't factor in all the industrial development that didn't happen just because of the scare tactics and stupid expensive laws based on a hoax.

Global warming is the greatest scam of all time and certainly the most expensive if you could actually count the real costs. These people need to be in prison, starting with Albore.

How about all the man-hours spent on teaching, commercials, debates...incalculable!

Globally, this probably cost trillions.

Ding! Ding! Ding! No more calls, please! We have a winner!

You are right. The figure cited is a pathetic fraction of the total cost, some of which simply cannot be stated in monetary terms.

the real annual cost has to be three orders of magnitude greater than this.

Google "Carbon Credits" for a jaw dropping realization of the scope of this illicit market of forced purchasing of thin air that the Obamanation fully intends to foist on us.

The EPA has announced that they intend to proceed regardless of whether there's any merit to the science while Obama is just changing the reason for cap'n tax.

There are wall to wall carbon trading companies right now selling carbon credits every day, reaping millions of dollars from industry and thousands from families.

Look up what these "firms" charge for a family of 5 to offset their carbon footprint, and you will immediately recognize The Largest RICO Case In The History Of Mankind.

This isn't over yet. Not by a long shot.
