scrawled the following:

The refusal of China and India to go along with the carbon-dioxide limits
should be the death knell for the Cap and Trade bill currently being
considered by the Senate. The legislation is a pretty hard sell. Even
advocates admit restrictions would only have a small effect -- only a
fraction of 1 degree Celsius, a virtually unnoticeable .07 degrees -- on
global temperatures by 2050.

Yabbut it puts billions of ducats in the pols' pockets while raising
the utility bills until half the population can't afford to use them.
What's not to like?

Will the last manufacturer in the US turn off the lights when he

a bit naieve, don't you think? energy prices are rising and will continue
to do so, hence transportation costs. your doomsday scenario will not
happen. what is more likely is a protectionist approach to prevent imports
from those who won't comply, just like child labor laws block import of some
carpets and stuff
