You are on the internet; the time you took to creat that response to me would be better spent researching
cap and trade. which as I stated has already worked in the past for SO2 and NOX. It is set
up for emerging technologies over the next 40 years and declining use of fossil fuels. As for who gets the money.. it is likely whoever gleans
green/clean tech the earliest will make the profit longhaul as they will be able not only to produce power but also to sell their remaining permits if
they "overscrub." Plants that pollute more will buy them and as time goes on and the emmisions limit get tighter they will have less and less of a
profit by not going green, up to even no profit eventually... but at that point the tech should be cheaper and again, all of this assumes there will
be no breakthroughs in fusion or nanotech which I think is extremely unlikely in the next forty years. We could likely meet the goal well before 40
years with a number of breakthroughs.
Also I do not have to deny conjecture with loose basis in reality... it is so loose in fac tthat it makes me think we are all being trolled in a lot
of these posts anymore. You all are given alternative points of view, you are given facts to contradict the few claims you make that can be verified
and it is completely ignored. You guys are so illogical about it that it doesnt' even appear as though it could be real sentiment to me anymore.
OR you were sent here by Pelosi with exaggerated points of view to make the right wing seem even MORE right and insane! Yes that is it, it is the ole
NWO psychological-loop-around-to-our-point-of-view attack!
