Makk, "Carbon Credits' are simply a global tax plan masquerading as an 'environmentally friendly reallocation of wealth' plan. It's the concept of a global network of middlemen that get the gelt INSTEAD of the programs that will actually solve the problem that has my back hairs up and my ears back and down. Those middlemen are traders and governments who have no actual ability to do anything useful. Why should they get a penny ?
When you think about the amount of money we spend making movies about experimental energy, and the actual amount of money we spend ON experimental energy programs... well, I think Hollywood actually spends more. And that makes me sick.
DOE funding of solar power ? DOE funding of fusion research ?
not much, my friends. not much.
Fortunately the Senate version of this plan just died with a stake through its heart. Unfortunately nothing better is coming up in its place.
