They are quite wrong. Regulation means regulators chosen by the bankster-owned state, but it "sounds" progressive. People don't understand Cap'n Trade, and they rightly would be even more opposed if they did. But they also don't understand taxation except that they've been trained to hate Taxes. In a market economy, such as we have now and for some time into the future, taxes--positive and negative--are the only effective way to channel resources away from ecologically destructive uses and to direct them to ecologically constructive alternatives. That's what the price system (aka law of value) is about. It's also what politics is really about. The coal can be kept in the hole and the oil in the rock only by making it unprofitable to extract them. Good points. Peter M. Nicholas, a billionaire from Boston and alumnus from Duke, financed the Nicholas Institute. Polling people that have little knowledge of global warming and climate change contributes little to the discussion. Coal is producing more pollutants than just carbon that should be taxed. For some reason hydropower is being neglected as a source of renewable energy. I would like to see the carbon tax be used to buy publicly owned renewable energy production plants. -- Ron
