In other news, the Obama administration is drafting legislation that makes shark attacks illegal.
An anonymous source close to the President said, “without this legislation countless individuals will be attacked by sharks. We must act quickly to prevent any future shark attacks.”
If the initiative is successful, sources say they will use the same approach to solve the growing tornado problem. The same source said, “As we all know, tornados have become more frequent because of global warming. If we don’t do something about them, citizens will continue to feel an economic and emotional toll.”
In all seriousness, this is so stupid. Will they consider the energy cost associated with plugging into the wall? The only way we get 50+ mpg for cars AND TRUCKS is to supplement the combustion engine with electrical power in order to mask the true energy costs.
Even my socialist, “environmentalist” (really anti business), father thinks that electric cars are stupid. He brought it up 2 weeks ago while we were fishing. He can’t understand why people think that electric means no environmental impact.
Because it is not really about the environment at all. It is about socialism vs. capitalism.
By gaining control of energy through the limits on carbon emissions they gain control of the economy.
These people have not given up on the carbon credits trading scheme.
The Left uses guerilla tactics in politics. They failed in instituting carbon credits trading by one method so they will achieve it by incrementalism. This is a small step in achieving the end goal.
