Bad Science and Bad Politics
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
This past week I read the news blurb where President Obama was pushing the idea that the U.S. Senate should be getting on with the passage of the massive tax increase package known as Cap and Trade. The purpose of the tax scheme is government gaining even greater control of our economic future (taking the entire scope of our prosperity by the throat and choking capitalism out of our system).
In spite of the growing mountain of evidence which identify the degree to which the hoax of climate change has been shown to be – true believers and their political henchmen are scrambling to complete their mission of control are working feverishly to finalize their deals. Without big government’s heavy boot of control, green energy isn’t possible, because it can’t pencil without the artificial costs imposed through a carbon penalty.
There are those who make the argument that government forcing extra costs on us is only right, given the negative aspects of carbon-based energy sources. This of course is based on the foundation of the hoopla over the belief that man is causing the climate of the world to be altered.
Improvements that have been accomplished in reducing pollution impacts are not to be considered since that would suggest that the invented crisis can be resolved without the legislative solution to force greater government on us. This is on top of the other governmental burdens which have been responsible for driving the costs of energy to the levels which has already been imposed (preventing domestic exploration and development, prevention of infrastructure construction, keeping affordable energy like nuclear energy off the table…so on and so forth). The truth of the matter, government has already messed up the energy systems we require to have a healthy and vibrant economy.
The obvious connection of how bad science and bad politics are seeking to force us to our knees should be recognized. Imposing more government to further expand the constraints seems far from an ideal that we should willingly accept.
