  Spit in the eye

  After hearing about republicans blocking previous bills and making things difficult just so they can be dicks, its great to hear how they ALL voted against this and it still passed.

  P vs R

  Im not an expert but I think progressive is you make more you pay more and vice versa. Hence the high tax brackets. The regressive tax is everyone pays the same whether youre poor or rich. Bill gates would pay as much as I would. Anyone can correct me if Im wrong. I cant wikipedia at work =þOn More on conservatives and carbon taxes posted 9 months, 1 week ago 15 Responses

  No Joking

  I would say booting anyone with a conflict of interest would be the first step of controlling the corruption. "You received [Fill In The Blank] from Dow?" You get the boot.

  Then they would need to create a division that is dedicated to testing these chemicals with scientists that have had no previous records of working for corporations. All chemicals must go thru this government division and be approved. No new chemicals should be released onto the public UNTIL AFTER the proper tests have been completed and the tests have deemed them safe.

  And of course there the EPA actually needs to do what is meant to do, PROTECT! The EPA regulations should only be used to help the people and the environment and NOT make it easier for corporations and polluters to corrupt. It should be illegal to create any rules or regulations that allow Corps to do more harm. This EPA is a joke and not a funny one.

  because...

  I can't afford to pay 20k to 30k for enough solar pv to put on my roof. Plus I have a lot of trees where I live. Don't get much sun and the trees block a lot of wind. I've looked at residential wind turbines and they cost 12k each. A small $300 version makes enough electricity to run my toaster.

  The average person can't afford to go all solar pv (at current prices) and the govn isn't going to front the bill to put PV on every rooftop.

  BTW, how do you get your electricity?On Seeing the light in the Pew poll on Americans' top priorities posted 9 months, 2 weeks ago 14 Responses

  I prefer to say this...

  "No one made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little."
  - Edmund Burke

  My father is a supervisor for a coal-power plant and is, obviously, an AGW denier. He calls me a hypocrite because I don't live in a mud house. I tell him I'm doing everything I can within my financial means and by helping others and my community do the same.

  However, I fear that if we are able to save the climate then the deniers and polluters will just say, "Ha! Told you nothing would happen." And then nothing changes and we still have an impending crisis. Basically a delaying of the inevitable. I almost think humanity needs a good beat down to put it in its place. Of course it's not fair to the poor or the rest of the natural eco-system. I'm not very optimistic that humanity will learn in time. I think humanity will screw this up. Humans don't take the necessary precautions to prevent disasters until AFTER they occur (aka Katrina). But this time AFTER will be too late.
