Californica cap-and-trade a big success...

In a website appropriately named "Hot Air Express". If cap and trade applied
to all states, or by federal mandate, it would work much better. But
polluters still have buddies in states where legislators, with their
drooling tongues in the wallets of Big Energy, don't care about cooking,
choking, poisoning and smoking their populace. They welcome the polluters
and contributors to environmental disaster as they pursue "business as
usual" tactics that try to preserve dangerous and unhealthy jobs for just a
few more years until the old coots die with the most toys and material
wealth, while sickening the workforce and leaving them with no health care
or as a burden to the rest of us when the greedy companies shut down and the
executives bail out on their golden parachutes.

This site also is pushing a subscription to the "Town Hall", which I already
have thanks to (probably) one of the right-leaning regulars here. It's also
allied to the Wall Street Journal, which is also hopelessly biased. Always
good to see what the opposition is brewing, but nothing much other than
reactionary rhetoric and sore loser whining. There are better sources of
information, such as:

www.nationalmemo.com
www.newsmax.com
www.pfaw.org

Not that I agree with all of their content, but it seems much more
reasonable than that presented by the right-whiners.

Cap-and-trade is just another messy complication, prone to influence
and abuse.

Politicians don't have the guts to simply create or increase carbon
tax.

Some "free market"!

It's amusing that lefties and the press (same thing, mostly) have
started referring to CO2 as "pollution", to imply that CO2 is
hazardous, like ozone or particulates or something. People breath in
400 PPM and exhale about 4%, averaging about a kilogram of CO2
produced per day.
