That has crossed my mind. At best, the most efficient burning of fossil fuel results in two natural substances, CO2 and water vapor. Now this is Ohio and things may be a bit different here (which could be quite the understatement) and they are now testing vehicle emissions for CO2 even though there is no limit. I believe that they are gathering data with which to impose a future tax, for vehicles. All that they need is some figures and they can tax the gas guzzlers more than the shitcans. Believe me I don't like small cars, but then there are other factors. This would probably result in less people buying the gas guzzlers.
In the same way, it takes so many BTUs of heat to melt each pound of steel for example. If I were a factory owner I would already be impelled to gain maximum efficiency if engaged in that type of operation. There is no way to do without. And if I have to pay for carbon credits or a tax it will have a similar effect. It messes up my bottom line. You want cars built here but you don't want to melt steel, process plastic, any of that high polluting shit, but you still want to build cars. What do you make them out of paper mache' ?
Now the demand for cars is going to increase as long as it can, that is by extension of MORE credit and of course peoople fucking. As they try to keep a baby boom going, they will increase the demand, simple logic. Of course with more taxation more of a percentage of the population will simply do without. So we might just be back where we started.
What's more, there are non-signatory nations who will become magnets for any large manufacturing concern. The old "giant sucking sound" will get louder. But my brain tells me that this planet does share the same atmosphere. So who cares if the pollution comes from China or the US ? I do, because I would rather we make the money rather than someone else.
I used to assert that when dealing with the government you are not playing with kids. I am going to have to carefully reconsider that statement. First of all they don't do anything right. Second of all everything they do seems to cost us in the long run.
Seems like a lose lose situation for us no matter what. If the companies don't move out of the US, that cost will be built into everything that company sells. Whether at home or abroad, it will matter and it will hurt.
We got less than three years to find a Presidential candidate with a functioning brain. Maybe we should work on congress first ?
And who writes this shit ? Surely you don't expect me to believe that people who wouldn't even read it would write it. Who are those people who write it ?
So sit back and enjoy the football games folks. Never mind that the stadium is on fire. Now I've heard that the story of Nero fiddling while Rome burned has been debunked. But really, so what if he was ?
Most politicians are predators, and so are alot of species' of birds. Ever heard the term "birdbrain" ? Birds are very hard to train to do just about anything. It seems to me that these assholes have got to be easier to beat than they look, we just haven't found the way as of yet.
