We spend $1 billion per day to import oil from foreign countries.

What would our standard of living be like if we paid less for electricity and could drive for about 1/4th as much per mile as we now spend?

What would our economy be like if we were spending that $1 billion a day inside the country rather than shipping it overseas? And what if we were employing Americans to generate all that clean power?

Companies have a choice. They can clean up their act or they can pay someone else to do something offsetting.

The government does not receive money from the credit purchase.

The rest of your post, meaningless drivel.

Fact is, it’s time to stop destroying the planet by extracting carbon and turning it into CO2.

Nice thing is, electricity from wind and solar will be cheaper than electricity from coal. Already are if you allow for the extra we pay in tax dollars and health insurance premiums because we are burning coal.

Now, let me think….Hmmmm they pass this down to the energy companies and make them look like the bad guys. Especially when rate hikes would be necessary for them to operate efficiently. That is with maybe diff. technology, more expensive scrubbers, precipitators, or some biomass project. That is good because it lowers emissions, but when the credits mount because they don’t need them, who wins here? Is it the trading companies ….mmmmmm owned by Gore and co. that still benefit? Uh… wait a min. I think I smell something other than sulphur in the air…..Yep… recognize that stench.
