Well we did mention Carbon tax credits and no it didnt use the terms "appealing to the base". But like I said that does have a place in conservative thought as the article correctly points out.

Lets say we go the tax credit route. Why is that so unappealing. There is a incentive for industry to use cleaner technology. That benifits us all.

Tax credits might be good for cleaner energy, but beware the carbon credit trading, trade-n-cap schemes. These are unverifiable international money laundering schemes. Keywords - hydrogen, reducing pollution, ending reliance on foreign oil - good. Whenever you hear "carbon" only, presume it's a scam.

There was a moment in 2001 I thought Bush would make a grand move and make a big government project into hydrogen, none of this "market-based" junk when the "market" is against moving off oil.

He never did it.
