  "Zero emissions" vehicles and buildings

  Both are being mandated in H.R. 3221, the Democrats nearly 800-page rewrite of 2005 EPAct. PHEV's are the latest wet dream of the electric utility industry. Too bad they got the lobbying clout and operatives to push their agenda as the soloution instead of the problem.

  As for cap & trade; get this:
  TITLE VI--CARBON-NEUTRAL GOVERNMENT, SEC. 6102. MANAGEMENT OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, states the following objective (page 265):

  to reduce such greenhouse gas emissions as rapidly as possible, but at a minimum by a quantity equal to 2 percent of projected FY2010 emissions each fiscal year, so as to achieve zero net annual greenhouse gas emissions from the agencies by FY2050.

  Zero huh?  Yup; here's how.  The Federal government can buy compliance form emmisions credit brokers.  That means WE are paying; through taxes.  Read on:

  SEC. 6103. PILOT PROJECT FOR PURCHASE OF OFFSETS AND CERTIFICATES states these goals can be met through purchasing credits (page 272):

  Executive agencies and legislative branch offices may purchase qualified greenhouse gas offsets and qualified renewable energy certificates in any open market transaction that complies with all applicable procurement rules and regulations.

  PS:  someone please tell me how I can post this as a new thread and not just a comment
