Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Great opportunity for those that donate to the correct politicians
ONE MAN’S “BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY’ IS ANOTHER MAN’S SCAM!
Sorry to have to yell that but it is true in this case.
We are being scammed by “Climate Change” and the resulting “Green Movement!”
SHEESH!
I agree.
But also consider that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate global warming issues. So such subsidies would be unconstitutional, not that the Constitution has ever stopped the corrupt Washington cartel from doing something.
In fact, given the remote possibility that you are not aware of this, a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified in broad terms that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under it s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, the power to address global warming issues in this example not among those powers.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Remember in November !
So if patriots elect Trump, or whatever conservative they elect, they will also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its Section 8-limited powers to support the president.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
The green industry is a method of investing in government subsidies. Nothing more than that.
Tell that to Spain that wasted millions of Green Energy—might as well spend it on Perpetual Motion Machines. Green Non-fossel fuels is a liberal fantasy land idea.
8. Describe how the interior core of the planet has molten rock (lava) and how you’re going to regulate that, along with heat moving to the surface via volcanoes, geysers and other phenomenon.
Well, according to prof. algore, the temp in the center of the erf is millions of degreezzzzzz. No wonder my feet are hot.
Your electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket.
Similar headline from the 1350’s:
“Bubonic Plague is ‘Greatest Business Opportunity’ in 100 Years”
Except that the Bubonic Plague was real and man made Climate Change is totally a lie through and through.
As long as taxpayers are there for the taking, then yep! Many a leftist and crony capitalist has already gotten rich and will continue to get rich sponging off us all.
China is leaving the US behind in the dust:
China-$110 billion
US-$56 billion
India-$11 billion
Global Warming? Hmmm...call me when the temperature here in Tampa GETS TO 70 degrees!! It is so cold here an alligator was wearing a fur coat.
Get back to me when they don't need subsidies to compete.
Coal subsidies are falling. Each year coal emissions(subsidy) are being reduced and Obama announced this past week that the dirt cheap coal leases on federal lands(subsidy) are going to be re-examined
