Republican Debate

[BlueTiki]

Damn, I make one comment about the democrats and the housing bubble and and another post turns in to us vs. them.

Since its inception in 1990, the cap and trade component of the Acid Rain Program (ARP) has reduced SO2 emissions from power plants by 10 million tons (more than 60 percent).

It was not my intent to derail your thread. Not supporting the EPA does not, in my mind, always translate into anti- environment sentiment.

I'm not sold on the EPA as the panacea for saving the environment. I own a LEED certified home, my businesses are mostly green and fair-trade responsible, as are my investments.

If I believe the KKK should be eliminated, it does not mean that I am pro-minority or anti-white. The same is true with the elimination of the NAACP.

That was my point with the "killing" of the EPA.

And the "Cap and Trade" market responsible for the reduced "acid rain" sulphur was initially voluntary participation. Now it is commercially traded on an exchange.

A market . . . not a governmental solution. Industry read the tea leaves and responded.
