For Obama, in the great political feast of DC, it’s “please pass the legislation, for today we devour an entire industry!”
Watch the video on YouTube from January of 2008 where he says:
What I’ve said is that we would put a cap and trade system in place that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s out there. *** I was the first to call for a 100% auction on the cap and trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted down caps that are being placed, imposed every year. *** So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted. *
Oh, oh…now, wait a minute….is Obama really an industry destroyer or is he The Great Coal Industry Champion?
Depends on who hes talking to…the man does shine us on!!!
