Nothing micro managing about it at all. It allows people free will. If they want a gas guzzler, they will have to pay for it. And by charging them more for their gas guzzler, the gov't is benefiting the nation as a whole

It is NOT a micro-management, if grandma in North Dakota has to shiver in winter in her cold room, because she can't afford to pay for her fossil fuel, along with SUV gas guzzler who either has to downgrade to a crossover, along with a school that has to lay off teacher's assistant to heat the school building.

If it is only the SUV owner, it is micro-management.

if we can't agree on this basic concept, then there is no point for further discussion. I believe the bulk of the scientists when they say CO2 is a greenhouse gas.

Of course it is. And Earths NEEDS greenhouse gasses. Otherwise, it would become an ice ball and you could ice skate from Brazil to Senegal. Greenhouse gas does not equal pollutant. The way CO2 a pollutant is as follows:

1. Obama appoints imbeciles to run EPA
2. imbeciles appointed to EPA by Obama declare CO2 pollutant.
