“Pollution Reduction Bill” -- Command And Control By Any Other Name
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
Thanks to the link that our friends from the social networks we participate with, we were able to read more about Senator Barbara Boxer and Senator John Kerry’s newest timeframes for moving forward with the U.S. Senate version of legislation, designed to tax current types of carbon-based energy in order to make it expensive enough to force us to use more costly, inefficient forms of energy. Reading through this article from the New York Times we see that in the name of calling their initiative by some other name, we’re now looking at a “pollution reduction bill” as the cover for destroying our economic system.
We’re supposed to believe that the work product that will unfold this week and beyond is just the starting point in search of enough votes to get something passed in the Senate. Then the conference committees would be able to figure out where to take things from there and in the end we’re supposed to believe that the best possible outcome would be the result.
Actually, the best result possible would be for the U.S. Senate to not pass anything regarding climate change… cap and trade… “pollution reduction” or anything else they may want to call it and involves the federal government extending their controls further over the energy use that takes place in our country. Perhaps they might want to consider looking into solutions instead of creating more problems (although it is highly likely that getting to that point would require the election of different persons to be involved in the deliberations).
