Get ready, get set, get rid of “climate bill”
Is the sun setting on our way of life?
Even though we were granted a few days’ pardon, make no mistake. The Climate Bill is coming soon! We have the word of Senators Lieberman and Kerry.
Unfortunately.
Due to its extreme unpopularity, the term “cap and trade” will be missing from the title and language of the bill. But be sure that that’s what this Energy Bill is all about: Capping CO2 emissions from power plants, factories, transportation, buildings, and anything else that dares exhale this “dangerous pollutant.” And charging money (Trading) for permits to emit said “pollutants.”
Those who will promote this bill conveniently ignore the fact that every human being on the planet emits this “pollutant” with every breath exhaled (and every green plant on the planet needs this pollutant to survive).
Every home, every car, school, grocery store, mall, office building, EVERYTHING–will be subject to oversight and regulation by the ever-expanding Environmental Protection Agency.
Though proponents of the bill are quick to point out that they will start with only the “biggest polluters,” what is to prevent EPA from taking this regulation to its logical conclusion–taxing and regulating every manifestation of commerce, and in the process, shutting down our entire economy?

The lure of absolute power is hard to resist, is it not?
