Sens. Lieberman and Warner have unveiled the skeleton of their cap-and-trade legislation, America’s Climate Security Act.

Each year 4% will be allocated to US coal mines.

Each year 7.5% will be allocated to farmers, foresters, and other landowners to store carbon in soils, crops, and forests.

Answer 1

it makes me want to scream. the e.u. 'cap (not much evidence of the actual cap) and trade' scheme is a complete big business scam too. free market madness!

the market is a good servant, but a bad master.

Answer 2

Wake up the plants are already storing the C. We don't need legislature theling the Eng. how it should be done. Do U think U are qualified to make that judgment. We should be using more coal as it is the oldest fossil fuel and some has already oxidized.

Answer 3

Well y'know JS, you have to be philosophical about these things.  I've been paying taxes for eight years to pay for the EPA enforcement of the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.  The worthless Republican b**t**ds in the White House have ordered the EPA not to enforce those laws, and to block anyone who tries to enforce the law themselves (such as the 18 States currently suing them).  What the h**l are they doing with all the money they are taking out of my pocket?  Since these thieving n**i scum can take my tax money and use it to block and prevent the purposes for which I am being taxed in the first place, why should I care about or believe anything said about some new tax they are planning?  If these parasites continue to bleed the economy white they will be among the billions of casualties resulting from the problems they are causing, or at least we can all hope and pray that will be the case.

I love this "the market is a good servant, but a bad master" !

edit

I understand about the Dems being behind this bill.  It will still take a lot to convince me we need a new tax without a better accounting of why we have had such liberal waste of the existing tax money these last 8 years and how it will be applied in the future!

Answer 4
