Global Warming vs. Energy Prices

Dear Liberals,

You’ve gotta make up your mind. Are you for the “little guy,” the blue collar worker? Or is supporting the Green lobbyists more your cup of tea? You see, if you stop and take a half-minute to think about it, you’ll come to the conclusion that stringent self-imposed caps on energy usage and emissions like the ones you wrote up in your sweeping 500-page global warming bill will be a direct cause for soaring energy costs in the future. You’ve had eight fantastic years of a scapegoat. But enjoy trying to blame gas at $20 dollars a gallon on a Bush Administration that was ten years ago.

Oh, and by the way. Carbon dioxide isn’t a greenhouse gas. I breathe it out every day. You know what counteracts that effect? Trees. So… plant more trees. What? That doesn’t provide you the opportunity to leverage more control over my life? Oh, well then I suppose the obvious and simple solution of having more plants and trees around doesn’t really work then, does it?

It seems like you really want to have it both ways; that seems to be your calling card. You know, complain about gas prices and demand OPEC to increase their output but refuse to open up any of our own sources of oil. (Don’t worry about the fact that China is actually drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.) Complain about people’s money troubles, but raise taxes. Shout from the rooftops about how anyone should be able to achieve the American dream, but once they get there, tax them to the hilt and complain about their wealth as if they’ve done something wrong.

Anyway, I just thought you’d like to know why I can’t really appreciate any of your solutions. Cheers.
