It’s infuriating that corporations are allowed to pollute the commons for their personal profit and expect taxpayers to clean up after them. If they had to be responsible for the true cost of their products, including the cost of all their wars and environmental devastation, fossil fuel companies wouldn’t be able to compete with renewable sources of energy. The rest of us have to clean up after ourselves; why shouldn’t corporate persons be required to do so as well. Even the CEJAPA charges seem to be letting them off lightly.

The only way to fund environmental improvement is through a strong economy that produces the wealth to buy it. Economies are fragile things, pull one too many cards out of the house, and down it goes. This isn’t about another “few” billion on the deficit or cap and trade’s huge net increase in taxation, this is about when we reach critical mass and the economy collapses completely. The former Soviet Union’s toxic legacy and Beijing’s legendary air pollution prove that government-simulated wealth, debt-driven, won’t power our clean conversion, it will leave people out of work burning things in the street to stay warm.

Yeah, I simply can’t image why that might be…

didn’t Inhofe pester Boxer for the CBO score of CEJAPA in December? Even though it was essentially the same as ACES?

Now we know he must have known how badly this scored, as it was well over a month or so before! But ….crickets…
