[TheForge] Fw: Cap and trade

[Mike Linn]

Dave... thats the point.  The cost of P.C. energy sources are still not 
economically feasible, therefore they must bring the cost of everything 
else up to make it so. Therefore you MUST use their approved sources of 
energy..  but really this isnt about "saving the earth", "global 
warming" (Im still trying to get over the global cooling of the '70's) 
or about money. It is about CONTROL. when they can control the energy 
they control all mechanisms for production. And we are going to let them 
do it.
