Capitalist Solution For Cap And Trade

Nov 15th, 2009 by Frank Knotts

                             View Image

         The next big bill for the Obama administration is likely to be Cap and Trade. Cap and Trade supporters will tell you that it is a must do in order to gain control of our out of control production of the newly labeled pollutant Co2, or carbon dioxide.

     Co2 is a bi-product of almost every thing that is manufactured in this country and around the world. And just for those who maybe didn’t get all that they could from the public school system, Co2 is also a bi-product of human life, we breath out Co2 with every breath.

    The slobbering environmentalist on the left will tell you that we must reduce Co2 outputs back to levels of twenty years ago, so much for progress. Why not just reduce them back to the stone age while we’re at it ?

   We are told that we must do this to stem the rising tide, (pun intended), of global climate change . But not just global climate change, but “MAN MADE GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE !!! “.

  Now I’m not saying that the earth’s climate isn’t changing. In fact I will admit that the earth’s climate has changed significantly many times over its life time. It has been much colder and much warmer than it is today. But I do not believe that man has any significant effect on the global climate .

  So how does the left propose to change our Co2 outputs ? By punishing every industry and every singal citizen of this nation through Cap and Trade.

  Those on the left will tell you that by setting arbitrary levels for Co2  output, or caps if you will, on individual companies and by fining those companies who exceed those levels, they can reduce Co2 levels . But wait, because if the companies exceed their individual output levels set by the all-knowing government, then they can buy , or trade if you will , credits from other companies that have extra credits. So actually the companies really don’t have to reduce their output, they merely have to buy credits from the government and other companies.

  Of course like any overhead cost to a company, the cost of buying these credits and or fines will be passed onto the consumers and will become just another cost of doing business. And in the long run have a most minimal effect on reducing Co2 output.

  The cost of the credits and fines will lead to higher energy cost across the board, which will lead to higher cost of all goods manufactured in this country, including our food.

  So if the caps are not really caps at all, and the credits and fines will raise the cost of every aspect of our lives , what is the real purpose of Cap and Trade ?

  To find out the answers to these questions and my capitalist solution, please join me over at  www.politicallyfrank.wordpress.com  , for the rest of this article and my insight into exactly what the Democrats and the radical left is up to with this Cap and Trade legislation.

    This is one of the 5 most dangerous major works of legislation in the last decade.
