From the time I first heard about the global
warming alarmist’s “Cap and Trade” energy taxing
scheme, it then and still seems to me as one of the
most bureaucratic inane proposals ever conceived in
the minds of humans. Disregarding whether climate
change global warming exists, there is no event in
history where mankind has ever accomplished
anything truly significantly positive as it relates
to major environmental protection. Sure we have
cleaned up some air and some waterways, which we
fouled by our stupidity and greed. But for the most
part we have turned a big blue and green planet
into a blue and brown sphere.
Now from the conservative Heritage Foundation comes
a report that puts some numbers on the economic
cost of this ridiculous proposal. The report,
“Son of Waxman-Markey: More
Politics Makes for a More Costly Bill”
outlines those economic costs to the citizens
of the United States.
