Worth the read. Crazy stuff.

Random Highlights of submitted amendments:Nukes are in!Off Shore drilling incentivesTrees are BiomassWould automatically repeal if it results in an increase in the cost of gasoline or diesel fuel in the United States by more than 10 cents per gallon.
If utility bills go up by 10% , the whole bill is void(?)

Decades of greed and consumption of recources with no logical thought on their finite nature, or what problems that may cause in the future. Greed is a backbone of America.
