Boycott
American families and businesses are being economically threatened by cap-and-trade schemes. If cap-and-trade is approved, Americans can expect to pay thousands of dollars every year in “carbon taxes”. Millions of American jobs will be lost as companies seek more business-friendly locations elsewhere in the world. All this for what proponents acknowledge will at best result in 1/10 of 1 degree temperature change in 100 years!
But these facts don’t seem to matter to those corporations that have joined forces with the green lobby in supporting cap-and-trade. Some corporations stand to make millions as the result of cap-and-trade. Others have simply caved in to the political pressure from the green lobby. Regardless of their reasons, all of these companies are undermining American citizens by supporting cap-and-trade.
The Center for American Progress published a list of 100 organizations that support cap-and-trade. Hopenhagen, a website supporting the Copenhagen Climate Treaty, lists 92 organizations as “friends” of their effort. The U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP) is a group of 30 large corporations and Park Avenue environmental groups that have joined forces to lobby for the Waxman-Markey cap-and-tax bill.
Why would you choose to support these corporations with your wallet when they
are advocating for policies that will be disastrous for most American families?
Here is a list of 19 companies that we believe would be most susceptible to a consumer boycott campaign. They have decided to support cap-and-trade, now you need to decide whether you are going to support them.
Organizations can be removed from the boycott list by taking the following two actions: 1) withdrawing their names as a supporter of cap-and-trade from the appropriate list above; and 2) issuing a press release stating that their organization will not take a specific position on cap-and-trade and the Copenhagen climate treaty.
UPDATE: Reader’s Digest has complied with our request and has been removed from the boycott.

Thank you for this list. I will make sure to distribute it to everyone I know and tell them to buy as much from them as possible and support their effort to making a difference when it comes to climate change.
Why don’t you just hand deliver our freedom along with your money over. Did you know passing cap and trade will reduce the U.S workforce by 4 million? But who cares, we will all be equal anyway. What kind of hut are you going to live in? I can’t wait!! It’ll be like camp, but all day every day. Oh and by the way; it’s 20 [deleted] degrees outside on December 7th in Seattle!!!! Global what? Do some research.
How much can I earn collecting and turning in boycott cap and trade signatures? I’m all for making a profit for the cause, but time isn’t free!
If I create my own site and get 1000 signatures, how much do I earn?
Nothing wrong with an entrepreneurial spirit, but this is a matter of self-defense. Do you need someone to pay you to defend yourself? Look at it as saving money.
Be sure and buy all the propaganda too.Oh, yeah, I am sure if you drink enough Coke and Pepsi you can develop Autism from the Mercury found in the high fructose corn syrup they put in their products.
I thought you were kidding about mercury in HFCS, but sure enough there it is on the web. Apparently half the HFCS produced is contaminated as the result of using caustic soda from companies that use an outdated “mercury cell” technology to make it. I wonder, if Bob drinks lots of mercury-contaminated soft drinks, will he expand as the world grows warmer? or is that just all the calories?
I have no idea whether you’re serious or not.
I wonder if maybe drinking mercury contaminated soft drinks is the reason they believe in CAGW?
CLIMATEGATE!!!!! PASS IT ON.
Hey Bob, you’re not too smart are ya. Mandmade global wamring is the biggest scam ever to hit man kind. In case you have not noticed, the climate is cooling tremendously and has been for the last few years. Get a clue you dingleberry and wake up. There is no manmade global warming.
There is a vast difference between weather and climate that you should be aware of. Weather is short term…it’s what’s happening now. Climate is long-term and is characterized by trends over significant periods of time. A few years does not represent climate and is therefore, not an apt method of disproving global climate change. Also, the weather in Seattle at one moment of time is rendered invalid on the grand scheme of things. Please turn on your brain before posting. Thank you.
Correct Jules
The warming of the 80s and 90s was climate change the cooling on the last decade as well as the 60s and 70s and the warming from 1910 to 1940 were all merely “weather”. So what if the unfudged data shows the earlier warming almost exactly the same in length and size.
The most important thing you can do before lending your support to anything is to educate yourself on the subject. Climate change and Global Warming is a fear tactic used by our government to enact legislation to further enabling them to create a World Government. The government is counting on people like you to remain ignorant of their objective.
Cap and Control… New World Order… you are right on.. Just Google “New World Order” and read all the elected leader’s comments..
Ummm are we not supposed to boycott google…????
Good catch. Unfortunately, “Altavista” doesn’t work quite as well as a verb. Maybe “Bing it.”
@ Bob. You must be as thick as a whale omelet! Global Warming = Criminal Fraud. I wasn’t going to boycott the companies that support cap-and-trade but you have convinced me to take maximum action.
Interesting decision Bob! So you’re saying you want a tax increase of $3000 s year fully knowing that even the AGW fanatics like James Hansen have said that there is absolutely no environmental benefit from this idea. Are you being sarcastic or are you just really stupid? Send your $3000 here instead.
And I will do my best to double my efforts to counter foolish people like Bob. Cap and Trade=bogus science and loss of jobs.
Reading this list is quite illuminating, BP? Coca Cola? Pepsi? The big three auto makers?… Oops I mean the one big auto makers and two government owned manufacturing facilities… e-Bay? Ok if you simply added up the carbon footprint of just these Mega corporations and forced them to reduce their collective carbon out-put and in doing so forcing them into bankruptcy then the green fascist would have to be happy. Each one of these corporations are major contributors to “Global Climate Change”, they are hedging their bets and hoping to be on the ground floor of the new Social Revolution that is Government sponsored regulation of the very thing that makes them money. I guess they have given up? They believe it is better to join them than to keep fighting.
Sad day for capitalism. After they are done with all their work they wont be able to have a coke and a smile
Oh and by the way didn’t Fredrick Henderson just resign from GM?
Perhaps you’ve heard of “Quisling”? These corporations will find out some day that they sold their souls to the wrong parties.
I called Ford Motor Company at 800-392-3673 this morning to find out if what I had read about Ford supporting the CAP and Trade Bill was correct. The lady I spoke with informed me that she could not find anything on the internet about Ford’s support of this bill.
I informed her that on my desk was file containing six weeks worth of searching for company replacement cars. The car I had settle on was a Lincon MKX and was planning on confirming the purchase to the dealership this week. However now that I have found out about Ford’s suport of this Cap and Trade Bill, I will not, in any way support Ford now or in the future with the purchase of their cars for our company.
The only way anyone these days will listen is if you get into their pocketbooks. Ford has had a good product over the years and our company, though small, have used quite a number of their cars in the past.

Perhaps the Ford rep you spoke with should have began with Ford’s own website: http://www.ford.com/about-ford/news-announcements/press-releases/press-releases-detail/pr-ford-cites-energy-policy-as-30796
In addition: http://www.us-cap.org/ ; http://www.edf.org/article.cfm?contentID=9138
Thanks for the info.
Ray
Sent it and will share it. Thanks. My next vehicle was to be a Ford. Not even a possibility now. I’ve been a customer of every one of these companies, but will not again so long as they remain on this list. Keep us updated.
Bought a Honda this morning… the final decider between it and a Chevrolet is General Motors’ support of Cap and Trade. Sorry GM, you lose. Haven’t even missed the Coke, Pepsi, and Starbux crap I used to drink daily. Should have done this years ago.
I agree with the previous post: the ‘net’ is too thick to slice through or even burn at this point. Let’s face it – they have all of the marbles. By not associating, supporting, or even acknowledging the now highly integrated power structures we will win. By building our own grass roots economies under the US Constitution healthy communities will emerge once again. And we just might start appreciating what really counts. Who needs another plastic communication device anyway? Do not give the power mongers your money, respect or attention anymore. Indifference is the best strategy. Without our money and support they will crumble.
Dear Pepsico
Following are more of my thoughts to your benefit.
Your opinion that carbon is somehow “bad”, that Pepsi should have a small carbon footprint, or carbon is a pollutant and other actions mentioned are both misguided and somewhat short on thought. Carbon, in the form of Carbon Dioxide is a fertilizer, is essential to life, especially growing food for you and your customers if they are to buy your products. For example, the optimum level for plant growth in greenhouses of carbon dioxide is 700 to 1000 parts per million, approx. two to three times its current concentration in the earth’s atmosphere. That doubling of carbon dioxide would increase temperature is preposterous. During the last decades, the improvement of wheat yields on our family farm while CO2 increases have been quite remarkable. Carbon dioxide levels depend on temperature, first, not the other way around. Further the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is nearly at its lowest level in earth’s history; it has been as high as 7000 parts per million and exceeded 1500 ppm during most of earth’s history. Carbon has been regulated in the biosphere according to the carbon cycle for 3,500 million years without the aid of politicians, who, by the way cannot even balance a budget, let alone regulate weather. Cap and trade is simply a politician’s dream come-true for limitless control of the masses and unlimited taxation.
Furthermore, the EPA’s own internal documents voice serious doubts about global warming, the danger of CO2, the policies of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the IPCC’s AR4 Summary to Policy Makers (SPM). The IPCC, its SPM, and the Hadley Center Climate Research Unit have been seriously discredited by release of their own internal documents during the last month that disclose that no science whatsoever went into their predictions of doom. I can prove to you with one diagram that Climate Change is wrong. Just ask. All this shows that Climate Change is a hoax, that the so-called science has been a gigantic fraud, a politician’s scam committed upon the world, and that only a few scientists actually believe in its fantasy. For more information on how just a few of the most famous climate scientists view climate change, I suggest you go to the report for the US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, entitled: “More Than 700 (Previously 650) International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims” at….http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.PressReleases&ContentRecord_id=d6d95751-802a-23ad-4496-7ec7e1641f2f&Region_id=&Issue_id=
Since you are a profit corporation and if concerned about insurability and risk, I seriously suggest reading Christopher Monckton’s thesis, “Global Warming-A debate at last” at….. http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/originals/debate_at_last.pdf
A question I have of Pepsico is how much carbon dioxide do your carbonated beverages release when consumed. I am certain the world would be shocked to learn the answer. That is where your concern should be, not in converting to electric delivery vehicles run by electricity generated from a coal fired power plant. If you would reconsider packaging, you would achieve greater savings. I have also observed that your bottles require either plastic, derived from petroleum products or aluminum derived from mined products. Each requires petroleum as a raw material or fuel to create the package before liquids are introduced. My question is: How and where do you intend to find a more environmentally friendly packaging product? What is your footprint, for a drink for which water would substitute better? You either use aluminum from mines in SA etc. or petroleum from the many oil fields around the world. It seems to me you are committed to both package types. That you agree with the carbon neutral policies, freeing Pepsi of its responsibilities as it passes costs of compliance is nothing more than greed. Some see your hypocrisy.
The cap and trade legislation, EPA’s Endangerment finding, and Climate Change (the new moniker for global warming since climate has been cooling since 2000; snow in Houston TX, for example) are all under serious assault by groups with the truth on their side. You can learn about the problems facing all of these program areas designed to lighten our pocketbooks by consulting http://www.icecap.us, the competitive enterprise institute, and the Heartland Institute, and other groups that oppose these democratic egocentric policies. You would be wise to join with the truth squad rather than submitting to propaganda of climate change, cap and trade, and other so-called “dangers of CO2″. My GOD! Think about it—Your business depends on CO2!!! You would have no business without it. I am absolutely astounded of your position on this issue. Has anyone there really considered the science, the reality, the truth in/of these issues?

Thank you for sharing your opposition to Cap and Trade legislation. PepsiCo recognizes global climate change as an issue which will require business, government and individuals to work together to find an appropriate common solution.
As a responsible corporate citizen, PepsiCo has not waited for government regulation. We’re proud of our many efforts to reduce our overall carbon footprint. This is not only good for the environment, but ultimately makes our business more efficient and competitive in the marketplace. Some examples of our actions include improving energy efficiency in our operations and developing renewable energy sources, like solar, wind and biomass. Our route salesmen are using efficient methods of delivery to reduce the use of motor fuels in our trucks. We are also working with our suppliers to ensure both our packaging and our agricultural ingredients are produced in an environmentally sustainable manner.
We do understand your concern regarding specific public policy strategies. We feel, however, that positive policies implemented early will result in lower total costs to our business and to the economy as a whole. We are hopeful that the policy makers will reach an effective solution which helps reduce carbon emissions while growing renewable energy sources in the United States. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
You truely are Morons so how much money are you getting paid pay with our tax payers money???? You people are are going to go our of business and you know what I will be happy to see it..
I got an email from my aunt where she also wrote to Pepsi and got the exact same letter in response. I don’t believe they are even reading the whole letter they’re getting. They see “cap and trade” and go ok, send this form letter. You know if all these corporations got together, they could stop this “crap and traitor” tax “cold” in it’s tracks. (Sorry, pun was intended). Stick together folks, we will win eventually, say November 2010.
Thanks, for this eye opener list. I will not do business with any company which is supporting the Obama socialist policies of controlling and taxing the hell out of us!
Thanks for the list. I absolutely will not suport any of these companies who partipate in the global warming hoax!!
I’ve already been boycotting Ford, GM, GE, and HP for many years, due to my previous bad experiences with their crappy unreliable products. Their support for cap and tax is just icing on the burnt toast. As for Coca-Cola and Pepsico, aren’t their carbonated beverages filled with (oh the terror) CO2?
Right you are. See here for some perspective on Coke’s CO2 problem.
Wow, this made my decision easy. I’ve been debating between a new HP or Toshiba laptop for a few weeks. No need to ponder over it any longer, it’ll be a Toshiba.
Excellent. Glad we could help!
As always, follow the money.
As a scientist, the “publish or perish” climate (no pun intended) is brutal. The fudging of climate data occurs to produce results to obtain more grant money to keep positions in the academe. Disgusting, but poor research with no replicable findings still makes it into peer-reviewed journals.
The Congress wants this cap-and-tax to generate more revenue to feed irresponsible vote-purchasing.
Al Gore and several former Goldman employees will make millions from their carbon-trading board of exchange. No wonder Gore will not debate anyone — he has too much wealth at stake!
Follow the money.
Coca-Cola and Pepsi? Really. So, what do you think they use to “CARBONATE” their drinks? Hmmm.. Let’s see now.. Could it be CO2? So, they claim to be in favor of reducing the CO2 footprint do they? So are they going to remove the CO2 from their line of products? I wonder what they’ll do when consumers quit buying their drinks because they are FLAT? You can’t “CARBONATE” drinks with air, it wouldn’t work. And as someone who used to work on a bottling line for Coca-Cola, I wonder if they know how much CO2 we used to just vent into the air, while trying to get the mixtures and ratio’s correct for the drink?
They want to reduce the carbon footprint, get ride of the “CARBONATION”!

Our message to corporations that support Cap and Trade:
Say No to Cap and Trade! These evil minded banksters must not have their
way. If you continue to go along with this nightmare of lies and
eugenics, we must do everything in our power to expose your part in the
lowest evil plot ever devised to enslave and murder the innocent.
Feed the poor, protect the innocent, uphold the highest heights of good and
honorable behavior. Profit is empty in the absence of dharma (the life
supportive rhythms of nature).
Peace peace peace…

Thanks for the list I will spread it around
I WILL BOYCOTT THE COMPANIES ON THE LIST ASWELL….AND I AGREE WITH THE EARLIER COMMENT, “FOLLOW THE MONEY” AND YOU WILL SEE WHO IS BEHIND THIS SCAM AND WHY!
Wow, really people? If the government doesn’t do something then nothing will be done, why do you all think we have Osha,, (Oh no another big government agency putting americans out of buisiness) or perhaps it was the fact that nothing was being done by companies taking resposibilities for their employees,,, a reduction of 900% in work related deaths, them evil guys. Get over it, it wont put America out of business, it will just help to ensure a future for our kids, though I don’t nessisarily believe most of you should be breeding.. To ignorant to think on your own,…. Wow!!!
David Perry said, “I don’t nessisarily believe most of you should be breeding.. To ignorant to think on your own,…. Wow!!!”
David,
It appears that you should be the one to avoid breeding. In that one sentence we find a spelling error,in incorrect word choice and an implication that following the “global warming consensus” implies thinking on your own. Just in case you missed my points:
1) “nessisarily ” should be “necessarily”
2) “To ignorant”? What you meant was “Too ignorant”. But perhaps, even after it’s explained to you, you are too ignorant to understand.
3) Somehow questioning the “consensus” strikes me as independent thinking. Blind acceptance is hardly “thinking on your own”.
If you are going to criticize others, you should insure you present yourself at least as well as an 8th grader.
You would think these people could use Spell Check or something of that sort. Obviously, of the generation that doesn’t read.
I just returned from a trip to Arizona back to Colorado. I witnessed the aerosoling of the sky almost all the way. This is absolutely sickening to me. It has to be stopped. Weather manipulation and killing us all, it has to be stopped. People are just morons if they think all these trails are contrails. I am so sick of this!!! Seeing the beautiful blue skies polluted by these bunch of killers, thugs, and psychopaths. Just who gave them the authority to dump all this crap on us. Who gave them the authority to charge a tax for breathing? This is just plain sick for this to be allowed. GOD is going to have HIS way with all these evil beings that are doing this. It has just gone way TOO FAR!!!!
If boycotting these companies will help, I will do this. I have just bought my last Clif bar. The more we support these criminal corporations, the more the aeral spraying will go on. Hit them where it hurts.
for CO2 to raise temps as much as these people proclaim it would have to be 7000 ppm and anything above 6000 ppm is fatal.
I was already onto most of those companies – the only surprise to me was Ford. With any luck CEO Alan Mullaley will wake up and figure out there are lots of people out here that are sick of having propaganda shoved down their throats. Making me feel guilty through propaganda does NOT make me want to buy their products.
The other day I was in a store that had a bunch of GE lightbulbs on the shelf next to a no-name brand. I bought a couple of no-names, then slid the front rows of them over in front of the GE’s, and pulled the back no-names forward. Yeah I know they were probably BOTH made by GE, but doing that kind of stuff makes me feel like I have the ability to fight back a little against “the man”.
This is the most positive step in my estimation to correct the decades of
pathetic and disgusting corruption of man kind. In a world where the medium
of exchange – AKA money – has become the dominant driving force behind
the exercise of greed and man’s inhumanity to man, this is a most logical step.
If it isn’t broke, don’t “fix” it
If it doesn’t fit, force it
If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway
Do not try to reinvent the wheel – just use a different wheel
Lead by example.
“A civilization becomes spacefaring or extinct” Carl Sagan
We must strive to expand the human race into the universe
where we can find room and resources beyond our wildest
dreams and end the stupid drive to fight and war over the limited
ones we have here and now. Look beyond our noses. Look to the
sky – see the potential – and live to see the reality.
Yes, it is about rocket science. Make it so.
please stop all the greedy b.s. nonsence your killing our country if this keeps up along with all the illegal imigrants our country won’t be free anymore we’ll all have to move to mexico. stop blindly folowing something untill you get all the facts and studies and proof. and even then still question it step back and look at all aspects off the impact it will have on all sides then talk it over with other piers and in the end you’ll hopefully make the right choice for this once great nation. please stop being a puppet.
Thanks for the list. I will not buy from those supporting Cap and Trade. I will call these companies and let them know that. This kind of action from citizens
will let our government know how we feel. But, let’s face it folks our biggest enemy is our government from cities to states to federal which has been incrementally maneuvering toward a world government over a long period of time. The government has already gained control of our banks and lending institutions. It is only now that the public is getting wise to why is is all comming about. The government can no longer keep their intentions under wraps to get the job done. It is time for the people to rise up against this enemy to preserve our freedom. It’s as simple as that. The question is how do we do it. Refusing to buy into the government demands of Socialized Health Care, Cap in Trade, legalizing illegal immigrants (12 million), etc. is but a tip of the iceberg to what we can expect as the results are witnessed by our people. Ask youself why elected representatives are going against the will of the people by imposing mandates upon them even to the threat of fines. We saw what happened in Nazi Germany when the people were finally marched to the ovens.
Think about it.
Thank you for the list. Cap and Trade is ” tax everything what moves” These companies will regret it pretty soon
well,i hate to say it folks but this looks like one world government soon to follow one world religion soon to followone world leader and finally one world mark or die.maybe the bible is really true and us christians arent just nuts.READ THE BOOK. it sint a Conspiracy theory it is now a conspiracy fact.
I will not buy from those supporting Cap and Trade. I will petition my elected officials to not approve Cap and Trade, and I will not vote for anyone that supports Cap and Trade.
It may be in here somewhere, but does anyone realize that cap and trade is the holy grail politicians have been looking for forever. Cap and trade means that you can bed taxed directly for BREATHING.
“though I don’t nessisarily believe most of you should be breeding.. To ignorant to think on your own,…. Wow!!!”
So typical. The liberal has to immediately start insulting everyone who disagrees with him. And by the way, Lib – your sentence should actually be like this:
“though I don’t necessarily believe most of you should be breeding. Too ignorant to think on your own… Wow!!!”
Only four errors in one short message. “Wow!!!”
One word. Sun. The sun is the reason for climate change. That said, your fallacious reasoning to support Anthropogenic Global Warming is moot. Spend your money to give back to the societies that you invade by Not supporting the ignorant global agendas of the financial elite that have always been headstrong to control the people, too be sure, they don’t have your ‘altruistic’ notions in mind, they would rather see the population decreased by any means necessary!
Ever find it strange that these climate “scientists” refuse to even acknowledge the sun? The sun is never even included as a temperature factor in any of the crap they publish. Mathematically, they are literally keeping us in the dark!
Scientists keep detailed records of the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth and they take this into account when trying to explain the climate changes that we are seeing. The sun has been ruled out as a factor in recent climate change because it has been stable for the past several decades — certainly since the 1970s, when the Earth’s temperature rose above the upper limits of the usual natural variation.
Oh so very very wrong. http://masterresource.org/?p=4307
i dont agree with the isea of the sun being “ruled out” in respect to global warming . i have heard that the ice caps on mars ? are melting . just heardt it , no proof .
also there is a good explanation by a david archibald (found in website -itsthesunstupid.com)who talks about solar cycle 24 .
also i have heard that the sun pours 126 trillion horsepower onto the planet every second . is this true ? if it is i dont think we can rule out the sun
Strange that those who want decreased population aren’t at the head of the line!!
I emailed all of them, I got a response from Timberland and PepsiCo saying they believed in the effort, C&T, and will support it. They both put my email address on their block list. lol. Timberland said, paraphrasing, they really didn’t like C&T buy we will go along with whatever social policy the government wants us to support. I replied to them with a different email addy and gave them a respectful piece of my mind. BTW, we have purchased Ford products all our lives, but will not any longer. I’d rather drive a Toyota! Thanks for your hard work here!
The companies that support C&T and social policies of our government know one key thing. It won’t cost them a dime to do it because they will pass it on to US! Just another TAX, but not labeled as such!
That is Too good, when it arrives in india hope it can make a Rocking location for youngster.. hope that come genuine.
From what I understand, BP should be removed from the list because BP, ConocoPhilips, and Catepiller have all withdrawn from the US Climate Action Partnership, a business-environmental coalition that pressed Washington DC to cap greenhouse gases. Check out: http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheat-sheet/item/bp-quits-climate-change-group/global-warming. Cap and trade is just another tax on consumers and will triple your home gas and electricity bills.
I agree with Juan Villar, the sun is always out of the equation, even when water vapor from the oceans is one of the more important factors of this GW’s joke.
But thanks Dan, I will be militant on this subject, and there will be not a big dilema to boycot those companies
Substantially, the post is really the sweetest on that precious topic. I match in with your conclusions and also definitely will eagerly look forward to your coming updates. Just saying thanks will not just be enough, for the awesome lucidity in your writing. I will at once grab your rss feed to stay abreast of any kind of updates. Genuine work and also much success in your business efforts!
Lamar McKay, President 630-420-5111 –> this number is incorrect. use 281-366-2000
Pepsi’s consumer affairs department: 404-887-2606 pamela consumer affairs dept. the other number is the operator who couldn’t find the number the the alex guy.
I just wanted to add something about this issue. Several of these companies are clients to where I work. 80% of their manufacturing is now being done in China or some other country so they will not be subject to these taxes however they will be able to tack on that same tax to the products they sell back to the US produced in other countries. So BOB if your thinking they are being green….. think again it more like greed….
I will not patroange your business or buy your products. I think its wrong what you are doing.
Thanks for the information. No more PB, GE, Coke, Pepsi, Cliff Bars, etc. Keep us posted.
Cap and Trade is a scam
We need to wake up and that we are being misled by our leaders.
http://storyofstuff.com/capandtrade/
I don’t even know how to begin explaining exactly how completely ridiculous Cap & Trade is …….it is the equivalent of creating a marketplace to buy and sell FARTS, FART Options, & FART Derivatives . It is far worse and far more corrupt than anything that they are presently saying they don’t want the banks doing any longer (traunching mortgage paper , at least there is typically hard assets attached to that somewhere down the daisy chain).
Economically speaking, Cap & Trade will spell sudden death for anyone who is not exceptionally wealthy or a welfare recipient , period , the END.
The very fact that something as outrageously stupid as Cap & Trade is even being seriously discussed in Washington D.C. should alarm the hell out of every U.S. citizen !
hybrid cars are energy efficient compared to diesel or gas powered cars..~’
Anyone who agrees with this dumbshit is a fucking moron. O man global warming sure is fake, with the record temperature (high and low) and the fact that half of the fucking far east is underwater. For real do the rest of us and the planet a favor and go kill yourselves.
These companies do most of their manufacturing overseas anyway! They are trying to crush the small businesses that are backbone of the US economy so why should they care! Corporate Greed is all they and the Obama administration are all about! – Check out the 10 richest people in congress – only one Republican-a self made man! The rest are the people in bed with these corporations!
