While Costello was on the moderate side of the climate issue in Congress before he decided against running for reelection last year, he thinks he can get more of the GOP onboard.
“The Republican position is that regulations create market uncertainty and oftentimes don’t accomplish the objective. We feel that this is a better way of getting to the objective, which is substantially reducing carbon emissions over the next 10 years, and ultimately getting to a zero carbon footprint,” he said.
Basically he going to tell Republicans they can earn big money by joining the scam.
If ya can't defeat it you might as well make money off it.
“Return the money...” LOL
Carbon taxes and credits are a scam.
These are the R jersey Uniparty operatives at work.
James Baker and George Shultz
Dead center to the Bush Family.
Anyone care to bet how much they expect to make out of this scam?
Want to drive yourself to work rather than moving to a city and using Mass Transit? Fine, but you won't be able to heat or cool your house as well because you'd use too many BTUs or produce too much carbon.
Start your own business? You better save up a ton of carbon credits because that little shop you want to have will produce a lot of carbon.
On and on, one damn bunch of lies intended to dupe the public the same way they duped the public to get the 16th and 17th Amendments that gave the Federal Government unlimited power and nationalized all politics so that States were no longer a brake on the Federal Government.
No checks, no balances, just the wonderful, benevolent, Nobility dictating every detail of the lives of serfs, that's the goal.
There really aught’a be some kind of anti-insider trading type law about ex politicos getting involved in a political issue after getting out of office.
Doesn't give a damn about the truth, just the biggest paycheck.
Damn politicians!
Another whore.
Remember the “yellow jackets”!
Losing that seat was a blessing in disguise!
Follow the money trail and it will lead right back to this jackass. and his ilk.
Carbon credits has such a bad rep they decided to rename them carbon dividends.
Wonder if Romney’s slimey Romneycare/Obamacare douchebag Gruber is involved in this too.
“For Republicans to be the party of the future, we need a plan to protect the future,” he wrote. “With the early impacts of climate change plain for all to see, it is high time for the Grand Old Party to embrace its proud historical legacy of environmental conservation by proposing market-based and forward-looking climate solutions of our own.”
I think it is high time for you to eat a big bag of dicks. Goddamn crooks.
Most are already heavily invested in the scam and want to revive it because they never reached the top of the Ponzi scheme and cashed out
What is with all the corporate scum supporting all these Global Warming (TM) initiatives?
It’s another social transfer tax. In his commentary he says that the majority of American families will get more in carbon dividends than they pay.
He fails to mention how higher prices will surpass the dividend. There will be economic winners, losers, and a healthy cut for the governing class. Plus the added benefit of being able to carve out a exceptions to the tax, impose heavier taxes, etc. in exchange for votes and campaign cash.
Uniparty Republican wants to help pass a new tax. Shocking.
> Americans for Carbon Dividends
Taxes are now dividends?
