My friend, John Ross, wrote 'Unintended Consequences'. Imagine energy police raiding your private residence. Never considered it as part of cap-and-trade?
Gallup found that almost 70% of the public was pro-ANWR. People not only wanted to reduce gas prices but they believed in energy dependence. The DNC voted against it for power, they were more interested in upsetting the voters in order to win the election.
Obama told us he intends to eliminate energy from oil in a decade. Today the goal to create new jobs is primarily either building or rebuilding roads. Rubber and plastic are also made from oil. What do we do without oil? How does it affect employment?
Wind accounts for 1% of our energy. What are the chances it will replace oil in a decade?
Solar panels are not only expensive, purchasers are prevented from installing them. Less than .2% of our energy comes from solar. Cost to convert from electrical is normally between $100,000 to $200,000 and sometimes more.
The bill amounts to little more massive tax on energy on everything we heat, cool, drive... We are in essence accepting blame for the ice melting in the Arctic's, polar bears... becoming extinct, global warming warming, CO2...

There are greater than 70% of the people who want to protect ANWR; 30% don't care.
We need to protect the environment from Copenhagen. The "renewable energy" schemes prevaded at Copenhagne are greater environmental insults than simply doing nothing. Wind energy and solar with storage, assuming anything can work at all, requre 1 kg-Fe/W. This is 10 times the material requirements of conventional fossil or nuclear energy. Just producing the metal will trash the atmosphere. When the coo-coo "renewable energy" schemes prevaded at Copenhangen fail, everybody will be faced with the real choice: do nukes, do coal, or do without. Result may be a frantic scramble to burn coal after everyone discovers the misery of "renewable energy" the hard way. Nukes waer not allowed at the Kyoto meetings. Not much mention of nukes at Copenhangen. The recent Chinese high-rise collapse caused by the landscapers showed what happens when no steel is in the footings. The steel in just one windmill would probably have made the difference.
Rosco,
ANWR; Why should I make the effort to link to the site?
I told you 1% of our energy is generated from wind. China is our primary competitor, how much are they producing? What technology do they have that we do not? How much money do we owe them?
If this cap-and-trade circus passes, what are the chances of America producing it's own turbines?
Got something to say?
