You all do realize it takes between twenty and thirty years to build a nuclear power plant. Wind and solar energy don’t come close to the electric output of a coal fire plant. Most coal fire companies are already planning nuclear plants because of the cost of coal. There is already an incentive to switch over to other power sources like nuclear, it’s cheaper.
Do you not think it is a little extreme to put a tax on carbon which will just be passed off to the consumer. If the consumer is the only one affected then how is that an incentive for anything to change. We all have to have electricity and gas, we can’t just boycott them.

As long as the hikes are on other people they are all for it.
We cannot allow people to be free. It just doesn’t FEEL right. We need to control everything.
What you are doing is tantamount to trying to reason with those Jehovah’s that come to your door telling you that Armageddon is right around the corner They are indoctrinated and you can’t reason with them
First, you have to accept the fact that AGW exists, and is a real threat in the long term. If you cant deal with that fact, then the rest of this is silly.
Its time to end the orgy of wasteful use of fossil fuel at the tremendous long term expense of the enviromnent. I can guarantee that the US will figure out alternative energies and energy conservation really fast with a carbon tax, since we’ll shift our energy use to renewables faster.
Why are you asking your grandchildren to pay for the costs of your energy use today?
Global warming is only a method to collect tax money from the people. As soon as the tax is in place they will have every excuse as to why we can not change our ways and we will pay forever into a lie.
Most of these nut cases, live off of a government check of one sort or the other, between their ‘heating assistance or cooling assistance’ they have no ideal what to ‘pay a bill ‘ means. So they could not care less what working people will go through due to their ignorance. That also helps ease their mind when it closes down 10 of thousands of jobs, they just don’t care.
I think that the answer is in a grassroots movement. Create your own wind, solar, or geothermal electricity. Power your vehicle with moonshine or convert it to a hydro burner. That’s the way we can get the huge companies and the gov’t off our backs and out of our back pockets. What will they think of to ripp us off next?
I don’t agree with cap and trade.
the democrats plan is to use the money to offset cost to the consumers, so you will not be paying more for it. http://www.sightline.org/research/energy/res_pubs/cap-and-trade-101?gclid=CJjO9faa7Z8CFRDxDAodqhzHYA
They have no idea what it takes to build a nuclear plant. They have no idea how wind or solar energy works. All they know is what they have been told by the extremest and they follow like milk cows going to the barn to eat their feed and then milked! Blind leading the Blind!
Of course we are. A governing body is entitled to money for all of the global warming that we cause with a middle man corporation (along with it’s bureaucracy) trading the carbon credits.
In order to breathe clean air, have clean water and a food supply that is NOT contaminated with chemicals that kill people…I think a tax is in order. How many people die because of contaminates? Asbestos…for one. Then the watch plant in NY that made the illuminating watches…that land is contaminate and unusable, not to mention how many people died. Companies and corporations have been knowingly polluting for too long. Our very survival may depend on it.
Hmm…maybe you might want to champion the pay of the CEOs of these polluters. Maybe THEY need to pay for the cleanup.
