Nice to have a list of ideas to work from. My reactions: 1. Can already be done in any federal court by anyone affected by a law. An empty gesture. 2. Unless they spell out what "providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of carbon dioxide" means, this is just rhetoric. 3. Old idea that never goes anywhere, including under Republican congressional control. 4. Scrap the tax code - good luck getting that through Congress since every lobbyist in town would be screaming to stop it. 5. That kind of duplication and waste rhetoric happens in many administrations. Yawn. Unless Congress de-funds targeted programs, it is meaningless. 6. Doable but unwise in recessions. Of course, Republicans generate deficit stimulus with unpaid-for tax cuts anyway. 7. Won't happen without Republican control of the White House and 60 (probably more) senators, something unknown in the modern era. 8. Energy lobbyists would love this one, could probably pass. 9. Good luck getting Congress to cut off their own hand in the cookie jar. 10. Fiscal insanity, deficits would multiply from current scary projections. All in all, doesn't add up to much in the real world.
