  yes it is real

  Where I live, our power comes from coal.  Cap and auction will make it more expensive.  That is a fact.  I happen to think it's a good fact for the environment, but it is a reason why this is going to be hard to pass, and I think you are kidding yourself.  Coal makes cheap power. Unfortunately.  On Carbon pricing does not necessarily cause high energy prices posted 8 months ago 6 Responses

  re: friedman compared to obama

  To the poster who wrote "In this, Friedman is ahead of most environmentalism and President Obama."

  Yes. He also doesn't have to get votes.  Go tell the  UAW that the economic growth model is fatally flawed.  I dont mean that Friedman isn't right about this -- of course he is.  But columnists and elected officials live in very different worlds -- with different challenges.On A one-time cheerleader for hyper-consumerism lays down his pom-pom posted 8 months ago 16 Responses

  still live in suburbs

  I am skeptical about the broad, unsubstantiated claims in this post. The vast majority of US voters still live in suburbs or in newer suburbs of suburbs. That fact hasnt changed one whit.

  What has changed is that after 30 years of being told that things will be better if we just act tougher abroad, lock up lots of young black men, end assistance to poor people and drastically cut taxes for the wealthy, it has occurred to people that this is not actually a political philosophy.  It is form of racism and looting, and certainly no way to govern a country.On The aging of the Boomers means it's time for new priorities posted 8 months ago 11 Responses
