Well youre the only one who does.

And motives dont = results. But I hope they do make it profitable, its just one more argument against cap and trade.

I think I'd rather have a carbon tax than pay to clean up the mess in the Gulf. Who knows how much that's going to cost, not to mention all the businesses like tourism and their economic losses.

"The company delivered 77 million more cases while driving 100 million fewer miles."

Even you have to be able to figure out that if you deliver more while driving less your saving money.

I did not realize Canada was thinking about a carbon tax to help pay for the clean up in the gulf. You guys are just so generous sometimes
