Your post below is a beautiful example of the knowledge problem we have in this country. Let me try again. "Your assumptions are wrong. 1. Cap and trade will raise the cost of energy in the US. No. It will raise the cost of energy coming from oil, gas, and natural gas. It will not raise the cost of energy coming from renewables." If you raise the cost of energy from oil and gas you will raise the price of energy in the US. Frankly, only a moron cannot see that. "2. Raising the cost of energy in the US will make manufacturing less competitive than it already is. No. It will make oil, gas, and coal companies less competitive. However, it will make renewable companies more competitive." IF non hydrocarbon energies were cheaper than hydrocarbon based energies they would naturally take over the market. Help me - what about the cost issue do you not understand? Is you mentality that of the left that elected an Obama? Is your lack of understanding the reason the left elects an Obama? Help - what am I missing?
