Cap n Trade has worked in the past. Acid rain and other pollutants have been curtailed tremendously through Cap n Trade. It provides a "market based" solution rather than absolute "dictums" from government. The U.S has to be FIRST to perfect alternative energy solutions if we are going to maintain any semblance of a manufacturing base. Cap n Trade would be a very good incentive to accomplish that. A "consumer based" economy is great as long as we have high paid consumers with high paying jobs but more and more of those jobs are going to India and China. If you asked the rest of the world what the U.S. was best at in 1970 they would have said, "Steel, cars, electronics, pharmaceuticals, entertainment, furniture, textiles, agriculture, etc., etc., etc. We were at the TOP of the list on EVERYTHING. Today were down to pharmaceuticals, agriculture, entertainment and electronics (high tech). NONE of which provide a lot of good paying jobs. We need to start PRODUCING stuff again....other than pizzas and lattes.
