TIF Oabam wins, and I sadly believe he will, everyone’s lifestyles will irreparably change. Many enjoy living meaningless drab lives, and they want others to as well. Obama will feed them with the hard work of many others who simply wanted something different, but will receive something that promotes epochal-sized destruction.

McCain, unfortunately. offers no antidote.

Which is why Ross Perot or some other independent should have been elected to office years ago. As it is now, the morons in the congress and senate vote along party lines for the most part, regardless of the issue(s). With an independent at the helm, it would force the morons to vote the issue or show their true ( self centered ) colors.

Term limits on the morons should be the next logical step.

Weighing the 2 candidates this go-around….. Obama will certainly drive the U.S.A. into the biggest hole since 1929. IF he gets elected.

He has absolutely no clue what he’s doing.

A revolt is coming to the U.S.A. Pitchforks and torches.

Coal is dying unless energy companies move to Clean Coal. The other option is Nuclear Energy. Both candidates will change the electric industry as we currently know it, as the costs for emissions will make it too expensive. You guys are a bunch of fear mongers who take everything he says out of context in order to incite fear & hate in this country. I will be so glad to see the Republicans out of office. This election is going to be the death of the neocon movement, possibly the Republican Party in whole if you guys can’t drive the fear-monger neocons out.

Protecting Our Environment And Addressing Climate Change: A Sound Energy Strategy Must Include A Solid Environmental Foundation

John McCain Proposes A Cap-And-Trade System That Would Set Limits On Greenhouse Gas Emissions While Encouraging The Development Of Low-Cost Compliance Options. A climate cap-and-trade mechanism would set a limit on greenhouse gas emissions and allow entities to buy and sell rights to emit, similar to the successful acid rain trading program of the early 1990s. The key feature of this mechanism is that it allows the market to decide and encourage the lowest-cost compliance options.

How Does A Cap-And-Trade System Work? A cap-and-trade system harnesses human ingenuity in the pursuit of alternatives to carbon-based fuels. Market participants are allotted total permits equal to the cap on greenhouse gas emissions. If they can invent, improve, or acquire a way to reduce their emissions, they can sell their extra permits for cash. The profit motive will coordinate the efforts of venture capitalists, corporate planners, entrepreneurs, and environmentalists on the common motive of reducing emissions.

Greenhouse Gas Emission Targets And Timetables:

2012: Return Emissions To 2005 Levels (18 Percent Above 1990 Levels)
2020: Return Emissions To 1990 Levels (15 Percent Below 2005 Levels)
2030: 22 Percent Below 1990 Levels (34 Percent Below 2005 Levels)
2050: 60 Percent Below 1990 Levels (66 Percent Below 2005 Levels)

The Cap-And-Trade System Would Allow For The Gradual Reduction Of Emissions. The cap-and-trade system would encompass electric power, transportation fuels, commercial business, and industrial business – sectors responsible for just under 90 percent of all emissions. Small businesses would be exempt. Initially, participants would be allowed to either make their own GHG reductions or purchase “offsets” – financial instruments representing a reduction, avoidance, or sequestration of greenhouse gas emissions practiced by other activities, such as agriculture – to cover 100 percent of their required reductions. Offsets would only be available through a program dedicated to ensure that all offset GHG emission reductions are real, measured and verifiable. The fraction of GHG emission reductions permitted via offsets would decline over time.

Obama’s plan to raise energy prices would be acceptable if it results in a moderate, stabilized price for energy that is sufficiently high that alternative energy development is encouraged without adversely impacting the economy. Question is, will that be Obama’s motivation? Or will he allow the progressive nihilists to destroy the energy industry?

Because reality ALWAYS bends to feel-good orders from pols. I don’t know why they don’t just instruct that magic unicorn to fart some carbon-free rainbow fuel for everyone! After all, they have MAGIC WANDS!

Develop and Deploy Clean Coal Technology. Carbon capture and storage technologies hold
enormous potential to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions as we power our economy with
domestically produced and secure energy. As a U.S. Senator, Obama has worked tirelessly to
ensure that clean coal technology becomes commercialized. An Obama administration will
provide incentives to accelerate private sector investment in commercial scale zero‐carbon coal
facilities. In order to maximize the speed with which we advance this critical technology, Barack
Obama and Joe Biden will instruct DOE to enter into public private partnerships to develop 5
“first‐of‐a‐kind” commercial scale coal‐fired plants with carbon capture and sequestration.
• Safe and Secure Nuclear Energy. Nuclear power represents more than 70 percent of our noncarbon

The media never made anything of these comments because there’s nothing here. Everyone knows that prices will rise under a cap and trade system, and both candidates support such a system as a necessary method of controlling greenhouse gases. The right wing blogosphere can scream into the wind all they want, but there’s really no story here.
