I have a question for democrat and liberal Americans, not for the politicians.
Do any of you honestly believe that the "Cap and Trade" bill recently passed by the House of Representitives is a good thing for anyone or for any reason? Please explain.
I can not claim that all the scientists agree, but I can PROVE that the majority of climate related scientists and economists believe that cap and trade, especially if globally imposed, will cause more death in the next twenty years than Hitler, Stahlin, and Pol Pot combined.
It is a point of agreement that besides food and water, energy is the biggest factor in man’s ability to survive and thrive. The more energy available, the lower the mortality rate of a civilization. The high living standard we in America have enjoyed for decades is primarily due to abundant, cheap energy sources. It has been responsible for nationwide electrical distribution, our highway system, the quality of our housing, our automobiles, health care second to none, our ability to produce large surpluses of food, the aviation industry, our space program, to lead the world in technology creation, and the ability to export that technology outside our nation and to re-employ our people in the next technological advance thereby increasing opportunity for the rest of the world. Energy is the blood of civilization and social and economic development.
Cap and trade will put an end to all of that, and that is the intention of Obama and Congress. They seek to degrade American living standards to equal those of the third world nations because they believe that we are selfishly depriving the world of energy by using so much of it. NOTHING could be further from the truth.
Cap and trade, better named cap and tax, is not about carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gas emissions. It has nothing at all to do with climate change of any kind. Its sole purpose is to level the living standards of the nations of Earth to a point where no one has a better life than any other, no nation can progress technologically beyond any other, and no private corporation makes any profit at all on energy production or distribution. Cap and tax IS all about the UN’s implementation of Agenda 21, and Al Gore’s need to profit by another $100 million as an aside to the UN agenda.
In its mandate to abandon the use of plentiful, cheap, and fully developed petroleum technology, cap and tax pretends to make use of "alternative " energy sources, most of which do not exist at levels sufficient to sustain the technological advancement seen in the past eighty to one hundred years. Wind, solar, and biofuels were proposed and research began over thirty years ago and we still have not found them a viable replacement for the existing technologies. For the government to force a decision onto the citizens which will be to their detriment is not assuring the general welfare of the people.
In the push to develop biofuels, the best agricultural land on earth has been reassigned to the growth of corn for ethanol, which we don’t need from the growth of corn for food which we most certainly need. In the past decade food riots have been experienced in eighteen European and African nations. Draconian requirements have been imposed on developing nations preventing them from exploiting existing energy technology.
Hospitals in North Africa are limited to wind and solar sources for electricity. These are so expensive that ninety percent of the hospitals have only enough electricity to run either a refrigerator for storing medicine, or a light fixture by which to perform procedures. When light is required, the refrigerator must be unplugged to allow enough current to light the bulbs for lighting. Afterward the lamps are extinguished to plug the refrigerator in and preserve their medicines. Typical African hospital procedures. If coal, gas, oil, or nuclear power plants were allowed, hospitals could rival those of the USA as far as power is concerned.
It is also accepted that for every $1.5 million diverted from existing energy to "renewable sources", one human dies from disease, starvation, or exposure. The demand that no petroleum be used dooms third world efforts at development.
The climate change con game, environmental alarmism, and the push for renewable alternative energy sources are the methods by which the power hungry elitists like Gore, Pelosi, and Obama intend to gather all the wealth unto themselves and grind into the dirt the people of the world under their boot heel of tyranny.
