Cap-and-Trade- it works!
« on: August 29, 2009, 07:19:26 AM »
It's been responsible for cutting acid rain pollution in half. Who knows how else it can be applied.

The Political History of Cap and Trade
How an unlikely mix of environmentalists and free-market conservatives hammered out the strategy known as cap-and-trade

Crustaceous, what the heck is that thing you are holding in your avatar?  :o ???   I grew up on the ocean and have seen some strange and ugly critters in my life but man that thing rates right up there with the best of them.

I saw Bush & Gray mentioned in the article, what does that have to do with Conservatives?  ::)

Looks like a lobster too me-------yummmy.
Maybe it is a product of LSU and is a gentic hybrid of work done on MUD BUGS----still yummmy.
Cap and trade is at least a tried way of letting the market place police itself.
There is no solution too polution---one MUST break an egg to have an omlete.
The problem began when man demanded a solution to cold and raw food----fire.
Even chariot wheels kicked up dust.
Some fuels that are great for one thing are not great when used enmasse.
Coal, like oil,is/are great and greatly dangerous too us all.
It does not end polution and it can make money.
Alternative fuels are the answer---but their answer has not produced the answer too what pollution, unknown, they might create.
There is one answer---but you must go down too Bible Study too observe the answer.

 Normal liberal scum lies and deceit. What does acid rain have to do with global warming?

So now for the believer in this global warming what are you doing personally to stop it? Have to stopped using any energy source that will contribute to this falicy you believe in? To be a believer in Global warming and to continue to contribute is hypocritical.

So are cow farts worse than buffalo farts? Please explainn that to me.

Billy
How in the world did you come too these conclusions:
1) That I am liberal.
2) That I believe in global warning.
I am ashamed that you don't offer too share the stuff you are smoking.

It seems that some of our industry managers are way ahead of our politicians.  I was told of a plan that is now in progress where certain industries have switched to burning diesel fuel and other hydro-carbon fossil fuels, so that when Crap and Tax comes along, they will be able to stop using these fuels and receive multi-million dollar tax credits.

William, I the comments were not directed at you.

The story in the link was on acid rain.

Cap & T. has little or nothing to do with polution.  The central focus is the money that will be made by third parties (brokers).  It will dwarf the stock market.

Is this a secret or what?  Maybe I wasn't supposed to tell...........

Does anyone remember the scene from "Quigley Down Under" showing the aborigines lined up on the skyline as far as you could see?   That needs to be US!

Brett,
My doctoral thesis in carcinology (study of crustaceans) was Morphological and morphometric study of crustacean parasites within the genus Lernaeocera. Lernaeocera are native to the Amazon, where that picture was taken.
