In this administrations never ending efforts to subject the American people to pay out the nose for the scam of "global warming" to benefit a few economic carpet baggers of the "green" variety... comes this up and coming effort to legislate "Cap and Trade" under a new name and deception.

Senate Offers Some Hope for Legislation to Combat Climate Change

....Is there no alternative between simple do-nothingism and House complexity? In fact, there is. An alternative proposal increasingly capturing interest on Capitol Hill is the CLEAR Act, sponsored by Sens. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine). The bill would cap the amount of carbon the United States produces and sell pollution permits to those who produce or import dirty fuels. Suppliers would pass these costs to customers, , which would discourage carbon-guzzling. It would also raise costs, of course, but the government would rebate 75 percent of the revenue from the permit auctions back to the populace.

Ms. Cantwell and Ms. Collins estimate that 80 percent of Americans would break even or come out ahead, even as consumption patterns shifted toward greener goods and greater energy efficiency. Congress would use the rest of the money to pay for some of the things in that energy bill, things that merely raising the price of carbon might not accomplish -- investing in transmission infrastructure, for example, or basic research and development. There is a risk that lawmakers will waste some of this cash, but it's a defensible one.....

And... don't you just love that last admission that "lawmakers" would "waste" some of the cash raised by this scheme... yet it is defensible?

Amazing admission... yet there it is for all to see folks.

Oh... and of course they include the obligatory terrorizing of children in their perverted effort... just watch their video from their home page.

Amazing.
Corrupt.
Evil.

Consider and ponder.
