“The House passage of the American Clean Energy and Security Act Friday was billed as a narrow victory for President Obama and the green lobby. But was it a victory for real environmentalism? Sadly, no. The legislation’s many loopholes that had to be added to secure its passage will make it far less effective — to be charitable. The “cap and trade” regime that the bill would create promises to ratchet down carbon emissions over time but creates a dangerous precedent for the environment. Cap and trade essentially creates a property right out of polluting.” (07/02/09) Link: http://spectator.org/archives/2009/07/02/cap-and-pollute Filed under: CANDi Commentary and RRND Commentary | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
