"Let me sort of describe my overall policy.


What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place
that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s out
there.


I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade
system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases
emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in
which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented,
whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to
meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are
being placed, imposed every year.


So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s
just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a
huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.


That will also generate billions of dollars that we can invest in
solar, wind, biodiesel and other alternative energy approaches.
The only thing I’ve said with respect to coal, I haven’t been some
coal booster. What I have said is that for us to take coal off the
table as a ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology
allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it.


So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can."

The guys a f**king economic genius.


I wonder if the folks in WVA, PA and OH know about this?


Sounds like lawyer speak to me. Says nothing. Means nothing. Commits to
nothing. Implys anything you want it to. Prepare for 4 years or less of
Lawyer speak. If you liked Bill Clinton you are going to love this guy.


Most Americans would love to go back to the economic times of Bill
Clinton. Most Americans who are smart. Those Americans who are as dumb
as dog**** - like you - prefer the economic chaos of Bush-McCain.-


No one beleives that BS... save it. All thinking people know we're
paying for the Clinton era and the Dem's screwups now with the
economy. The Republicans tried to ring the warning bell, and the Dems
shut them down. Nice going, liberal idiots.

Unfortunately it was the liberal idiots that created the problem now people
are going to vote for them. Scary.
