While campaigning, President Obama promised to introduce “cap-and-trade”, also known as emissions trading to the country. If he follows through on this promise, our energy bills will skyrocket, possibly up to 40% what you already pay. My most expensive electricity bill was around $600 last year during hot summer months. I will most likely be billed near $1000 a month
with cap-and-trade. I can’t afford that. Can you? That’s more than my mortgage payment.
The point of this is to decrease carbon emissions and encourage ‘green’ energy. But it does NOTHING to help the carbon output into our atmosphere. In fact, it makes it worse. While our country will be restricted on how much carbon we can release, countries like India or China, who fire up another coal-fueled power plant every few weeks, have no restrictions. Energy companies will flee the US to countries that have little to none environmental restrictions just to make money. More jobs are lost.
What about your employer? Can they pay for the sharp increase of energy costs? How many people must they layoff to offset these high costs? More jobs are lost.

So you think Al Gore, father of the ‘global warming’ movement is making a change in the environment? Besides excessive weight gain, the only change he’s making is the change of the monetary
type and lots of it. You see, he has a company that sells carbon credits also known as carbon offsets! He profits off the cap-and-trade system!
Remember when ‘ol Al was scrutinized for having a carbon footprint 20 times that of the average US citizen? His answer to this was not to decrease his carbon footprint, but buy ‘carbon offsets’. These ‘carbon offsets’ are bought from his own company! So his money ends up going right back into his pocket and he can pollute all he wants.
Al Gore is invested in and makes money off scaring us into thinking the world is going to burn up. The more he scares you, the more money he makes. Al Gore is taking your money by forcing energy companies to buy his carbon credits and the energy company passes the bill on to the consumer - you. He’s laughing his fat ass all the way to the bank.
I’m all for green energy. I encourage it. But there is a reason it’s not overly popular. Solar and wind rely on wind and sun. Sometimes there isn’t wind and sun. Plus, it’s not efficient. The equipment is expensive the output isn’t great. If this was the answer over coal powered energy why wouldn’t they be hopping all over the technology? There’s no profitability. Until the technology is improved, we should rely on what we have – coal, oil, and nuclear energy.
We need to use commonsense when it comes to our energy in the US, especially in these economically challenging times. Is forcing our energy companies to charge more for energy really a smart move right now?
