Fascist's Greed

Great comments about the "energy" bill being bantered about in Congress. As far as I know, Zack Space still can't make up his mind about this massive job killing bill. Previous post here.

The Intelligencer, Wheeling News - Register story. (don't you love it when newspapers try to keep all the names of those papers they've bought in the past in their new name? I'll bet they use a lot of ink trying to put all the names on their top fold.)

Comments from oldsteelmaker:

"Cap and trade will guarantee that blast furnace will never run again. It will also destroy Mountain State Coke. One ton of coke makes three and a half tons of carbon dioxide. Since the proposed "fee" will be more than the profit on the steel made, no one will make steel here anymore. If you have no blast furnaces, who needs coke?

Despite all the claims, no one has shown a cause-and-effect relationship between human generated carbon dioxide and climate conditions. There's a lot of handwaving and smoke and mirrors, but the recent data shows distinctly different results compared to the models. If it's supposed to be getting warmer, why is the average temp dropping? We did not see the peak temps get near the records in the 1930's, and they are going down.

So why is this happening? Pelosi's husband was a big investor in Boone Pickens' wind farm venture. She wants to see that make money. Gore will make millions trading the credits.

Greed."
