President Obama believes it is “critical” to have a price on carbon to grow the economy and create millions of jobs, Sen. John Kerry told reporters after their meeting Tuesday night.
“He felt very strongly this was a next step in America's economic recovery," he said.
Kerry, appearing on the White House driveway with Sens. Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman, stressed that Congress is on a “very short fuse.” There will be a “series of very important meetings next week” and they are “now down to dealing with specific language” in the bill, he said.
The president gathered a bipartisan group of 14 senators to discuss energy in the Cabinet Room – one that included Republicans Graham, Susan Collins, Judd Gregg, George LeMieux, Richard Lugar and Lisa Murkowski.
"If this group continues to work together, we should get something done on this, this year," said Lieberman.

The stupidity of this comment is breathtaking. Obama says giving health care to 30 million more people will save money and reduce the deficit. Who actually believes that? NOBODY!
Now this? Who actually believes charging every American more for gas to drive their car, electricity to power their house, and gas to heat their house will actually HELP the economy? Is it possible that ol Barry is hitting the crack pipe again? To quote his Sec of State...'To believe this would require a willing suspension of disbelief'
There IS a price on carbon. It’s ZERO.
Muslim logic.
These people are incredibily stupid.
they will tax us and take monmey out of the economy for redistribution any way they can
What needs to be understood is that Barry believes the American people are stupid crackers who will believe whatever idiotic things he tells them because the MSM will back him up.
This is how the Marxist intelligentsia “vanguard” speaks to the masses.
This approach probably worked in the housing projects where Barry, Saul Alinsky and the other “community organizers” plied their trade.
Could Lindsey Graham please retire and let us carry on the fight to save the country?
A key feature of these markets is emissions trading, or cap-and-trade schemes, which allow companies to buy or sell “credits” that collectively bind all participating companies to an overall emissions limit. While markets operate for specific pollutants such as greenhouse gases and acid rain, by far the biggest emissions market is for carbon. In 2007, the trade market for C02 credits hit $60 billion worldwide — almost double the amount from 2006.
Under a basic cap-and-trade scheme, if a company’s carbon emissions fall below a set allowance, that company can sell the difference — in the form of credits — to other companies that exceed their limits.
In theory, for every ton of C02 emitted, a company can buy certificates attesting that the same amount of greenhouse gas was removed from the atmosphere through renewable energy projects such as tree planting.
These statements are insanity. Billions in costs added for nothing in order to GROW the economy?
An energy clock by kooks who are denying us sources of energy.
It’s like letting deranged people out of an institution to run your life.
Bank of America is a leader in carbon-reduction strategies. The bank recently launched a $20 billion, 10-year initiative to finance emission-reduction projects, invest in green technology, and facilitate carbon-credit trading.
BP is among the most well-known companies to implement an internal cap-and-trade system. The company assigned its 150 units an emissions quota and allowed them to buy and sell carbon credits among themselves.
The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) is a U.S. carbon-trading scheme in which companies make a voluntary but legally binding commitment to meet emissions targets.

If you feel quilty for polluting the planet you can buy carbon offsets for $10, $20 or more a month

EPA ‘Lost the Messaging War’
Mar 08 2010
Lisa Jackson, who heads the Environmental Protection Agency, went to the National Press Club today to make the Obama administration’s case that environmental regulation, such as reducing carbon emissions, would be good for the economy.
The notion that America must choose between protecting the environment and growing the economy is a “false choice,” she said.
“Smart environmental protection creates jobs,” Jackson said.
It creates “a market for clean technology, and then drives innovation and invention—in other words, new products for that market,” she said.
Increased fuel efficiency standards for automobiles, for example, will lead to advanced battery technology and innovations in composite materials to make cars lighter, she said.
Once a price is put on carbon, investments in alternative energy development in the U.S. would increase, Jackson contended.
“We need to reclaim leadership in the development of new products that protect our health and our environment,” Jackson said. “And we need to capitalize on the growing green marketplace here and around the world.”

most climate scientists believe have been a major factor in global warming. But some business lobbyists have challenged the science behind this theory.
Jackson said it’s time for these lobbyists to “stop playing the politics of delay and denial.”
You nailed it. And the stupidity of these three idiots is also breathtaking.

Demoncrats are a cancer on the body politic and their policies are a cancer on the economy.
