Google and get a bunch of liberal mythology. If Enron were around today, they'd be in bed with Obama. He's exactly what they were looking for. The real Enron had Paul Krugman as a promoter, wanted Kyoto passed, pushed for a domestic cap and trade law when Bush refused to implement Kyoto, and got Robert Rubin to call up the Bush Treasury Dept to try to save them when they were circling the drain. If Kyoto had been implemented, Enron might still be around. “If implemented, [the Kyoto Protocol] will do more to promote Enron’s business than will almost any other regulatory initiative…. The endorsement of [CO2] emissions trading was another victory for us…. This agreement will be good for Enron stock!” - John Palmisano (December 12, 1997) from Kyoto, Japan.
