Youve read the same material I have. The projections about cost to consumers is based on imaginary numbers 11 years from now.
Beyond that, look at what this does! It creates a new means for the government to make money (selling tickets) and the private financial sector to make money (buying/selling/trading based on demand), all on the backs of the consumer. The energy companies are just going to pass this cost onto us, period.
Unless of course you have some delusion that the American energy infrastructure is going to rapidly change in the next 11 years. Or at least enough to offset the sheer amount of coal and oil we as a country consume.
Moreover, energy requirements/usage do not decrease over time, contrary to the bull people are spewing these days. If anything, history shows a rapid, exponential increase in consumption.
These ing crooks have NO intention of curbing the American appe e, clambake. They plan on reaping profit from it, thats ing that. The fact that our government is complicit should send a chill down the spine of anyone who has one.
Heres why; if the government was sooooo interested in actually affecting some sort of change to our energy vista, they'd mandate that X% of energy be created by acceptable means (wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, wtfever) in incremental steps upward over Y period of time. Its not like the government hasnt set precedent recently about their ability to meddle in private industry and one could even argue that if there was even one reasonable industry for the government to be heavily involved in, it would be energy.
No. Instead the government ins utes an indirect tax by way of tradeable tickets among a private industry that will be declaring financial war for them. Artificial product with an artificial demand at an artificial price. Worst part, we'll be paying genuine article money for it.
