The Green Police!

This commercial is probably my favorite out of all commercials during the super bowl! It was really funny! But is it really that far fetched?
Are you aware of legislation that is going through Congress right now that is almost exactly like what we saw in that commercial? Right now our government is trying to pass a bill called "Cap and Trade". In other words, it is a bill that will "encourage" people to use more alternative energies like Wind, Solar, Fuel Cell, E85, and whatever else you can think of. Sounds pretty good right? Well not so fast there partner! Let me define "encourage" for you as our current administration sees it: TAX THE HELL OUT OF CONVENTIONAL ENERGY such as coal, and oil.
Do you remember Obama promising this during the campaign? "My plan will probably put the coal companies out of business." He said.
I don't know about you, but there are no car dealerships around my area that sell Fuel Cell vehicles, and the few E85 vehicles that are out there cant fill up their tanks because the only stations that carry ethanol for the public are in Wisconsin! There are no wind or solar farms for me to plug my house into, so what do I do? Government is going to force me to use these alternative energies by making conventional energy too expensive to afford, but the alternative is still in the theory stage! Does Big Brother know about this flaw? Sure they do! All they care about it your money, and how much of it they can steal from you!

"The hit to GDP is the real threat in this bill. The whole point of cap and trade is to hike the price of electricity and gas so that Americans will use less. These higher prices will show up not just in electricity bills or at the gas station but in every manufactured good, from food to cars. Consumers will cut back on spending, which in turn will cut back on production, which results in fewer jobs created or higher unemployment. Some companies will instead move their operations overseas, with the same result."

The Wall Street Journal show that this bill will cost a family of four an extra $1,800 per year. Yet the Government claims that it will only cost families an extra $175 per year! There must be a disconnect somewhere.
