This is the carbon tax fantasy of the govenment control freaks.
Not surprising from the speech control author of McCain/Feingold.
McCain is bending over frontwards for the limosine liberal money.
Not a Fantasy at all . Check out this gem from Lugar.
“I am pleased to announce that the Lugar Stock Farm has enrolled as an offset provider in the Chicago Climate Exchange. The Lugar Stock Farm is an active corn, soybean, and hardwood tree farm in Marion County, Indiana. Our farm will be the first in Indiana to enroll in this important exchange. I am hopeful that farmers in Indiana and elsewhere will investigate the possibility of enrolling in the exchange. This not only will encourage the practice of sequestering carbon, it will provide an additional source of farm income to those who qualify,” said Lugar.
This was from May 18 2006. On his own web site. http://lugar.senate.gov/energy/press/speech/climate.html
Nothing like passing laws then becomming the prototype farm to profit from it.....conflict of interest, nah never. /s
