Does anybody think the government setting prices for carbon emissions/offsets will run smoothly? The same government that cannot even handle a $3 billion cash for clunders program will be able to regulate carbon…yeah right!
Graham has proven time and again to be a go along to get along moron. If McCain says jump, Graham gets on a trampoline!
Business mags have predicted that the first billionaire overcarbon trading will be Al Gore, Chairman of GIM which also owns a piece of the Chicago Climate Exchange.
Looters have to love this guy.
Wiki: Generation Investment Mgmt:
Online commentators and think-tank policy analysts have suggested that Al Gore has created a conflict of interest by working with GIM and simultaneously being the spokesperson for action on global warming.[6][7] The Competitive Enterprise Institute believes that the government policies Gore advocated to the U.S. Senate in January 2009 “will make him and his friends extremely wealthy at the expense of consumers.”[8] Such criticism over this alleged conflict of interest has been made as early as March 2007.[9]
GIM also owns a 10% stake in the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), CCX in turn owns half of European Climate Exchange. This gives Al Gore a financial bias towards promoting global warming control through the issuing of carbon credits.[5]

Come on saltyd, Al Gore is just trying to save folks from imminent disaster…he’s a honest broker of global climate change facts, just ask him.
If Dick Cheney were the man pushing a money making climate change agenda, John and the rest of the libs would argue there is no science showing climate change. But alas, it is one of their heroes, so the myrmidons mindlessly accept everything he says as gospel.
bb,
He’s my hero. He’s doing a touchy, feelly, making folks love him, got a best seller, a Nobel prize and making billions !
I read his book & went to the movie, you have choices:
Gore: Golbal warming is caused by global industrialization and a huge spike in population (see his charts).
No prob getting everyone to agree on electric generation…..kill coal, nuke,gas & those pesky utilities that want to raise rates…and hope for a pandemic disease…..
I was impressed with his charts of the red ring around the planet as nations burned forests and the population spike.
Nature: Just doin’ her thing, volcanos, hogs & cows….
Anti’s: It ain’t warmin’. it’s coolin’
Buffett bet the farm on a railroad – he ain’t dumb -
The vast majority of what you buy is delivered by truck. Over the years the cost of emissions have added tens of thousands to the cost of @ truck and it is getting worse. Then you figure in the future cost of diesel fuel including treating it…One of those hidden problems -
It isn’t that it is a bad idea, it’s the costs to do it fast, far, far outweigh the benefits and not enough nations are in accord.
If Buffett is right, more goods will be delivered less efficiently & we’ll pay…..
And one more shot -
Reponsible corporations:
Florida Power & Light – everyone’s hero -
largest wind power generator going – all kinds of awards & initiatives -
Obama just visited a location, praised them -
FPL asked the Fl. PUC for a bump – it ain’t cheap going green – Gov. Crist says no way, I’m appointing two cronies to the PUC, you need to suffer like everyone else……
Stock dropped more than 10% in a few days in an up market – that’s huge for a utility !!!!
The next time an FPL exec talks green someone needs to throw a shoe at him….
Jeez what is Lindsey Graham smoking? Was he ever a conservative? As an advocate of “separation” just imagine how productive this country would be without the revolving doors and the billions invested in politicians from the so-called “business community” which wants ole’ Lindsey to “price carbon”. Now does anyone doubt that the “business community” is part and parcel to big government liberalism? So Lindsey wants to “create an economy”? Slick Willie thought he could “grow the economy” but this stuff is just over the top.
