Climate Change Policy Survey

Filed Under Cap and Trade, Carbon Tax | Comments Off

The U.S. Climate Task Force (CTF) and Future 500 recently released a new survey conducted by Hart Research, which demonstrates that a straightforward tax on carbon is the favorite policy option for addressing climate change among American voters.

The study, which was commissioned and paid for by Future 500, polled over 1,000 registered voters across the country and offers the first insight into the U.S. public’s opinion of cap and trade as well as other policy options, like a carbon tax.  The result

Better Government Association (BGA) to Launch Massive Ad Campaign

Filed Under US Carbon Cap and Trade | Comments Off

The Better Government Association (BGA), a newly formed 501 C4 non-profit association, announced today it will be making a huge splash into the debate on Cap-and-Trade, national health care and the socialist policies of the Obama Administration and the Democrats with a nationwide ad campaign using television, radio, newspapers, Internet and direct mail across the country.

The Better Government Association has been formed to counter the assault on conservatism and capitalism. The BGA’s stated purpose is to provide the organization lacking on the part of conservative capitalists to compete with the ultra organization of liberal socialists.

The Better Government Association has hired the best marketing experts in the world to produce advertising that will present the facts and persuade the public to turn against the socialized policies, including national health care, of the Obama Administration and Congress.

The mission of the BGA will be:

  1. To inform the public on the fallacies of the information being spread by the liberal socialist organizations and the facts on capitalism versus socialism;
  2. To promote conservative capitalist candidates for public office at all levels;
  3. To file lawsuits against unconstitutional laws and actions by government and counter-lawsuits to those lawsuits filed by the liberal socialist organizations; and
  4. To form grassroots organizations to compete with ACORN.

Liberal socialists have triumphed over conservative capitalists in recent years because they are well organized through labor unions, government employee unions, public school teacher unions, the entertainment industry unions, radical environmental organizations, plaintiff attorney organizations, ACORN, Media Matters and Moveon.org. They also get mega-funding from individuals like George Soros and have developed very advanced fundraising methods including internet fundraising.

Conservative capitalists lack this intricate network of support and are very poorly organized. The BGA will step into this void and provide the leadership and advertising expertise necessary to factually educate the public as to the benefits of capitalism versus the dangerous consequences of liberal socialism being promoted by Barack Obama, his numerous Czars and the Congress.

The initial media launch will be the first step taken by BGA to accomplish its mission. The BGA has planned an aggressive fundraising campaign to recruit millions of grassroots members who will join together to send a message to Congress and the Administration that the conversion from capitalism to socialism is not the “Change” we were promised. Membership in The Better Government Association is free.

Obama Hints At Free Carbon Permits

Filed Under Carbon Allowances, Carbon Auctions, Carbon Permits, Obama Cap and Trade | Comments Off

Now he’s starting to come back down to earth.  No way a 100% auction of carbon allowances would ever fly in the middle of the worst economic and stock market downturn since the Great Depression.

Reuters reported that Oboma made the following statements at the Business Roundtable on Thursday:

If it’s so onerous that people can’t meet it, then it defeats the purpose and politically we can’t get it done anyway, so we’re going to have to find a structure that arrives at that right balance .

His problem though, is that his budget DEPENDS on the auctioning off of these permits.  Without the auctioning of 100%, he’s got a hole he needs to fill.

Finally A Positive Cap And Trade Article

Filed Under Cap and Trade, US Cap and Trade | Comments Off

Businessweek has an article called, Obama’s Carbon Cap-and-Trade Plan Can Boost Growth. The byline is:

Well-structured carbon emissions caps would foster clean-energy technology at scant cost to consumers. The program would even create jobs

This is one of the very few positive spins Ive seen on Obama’s cap and trade proposal since he announced it a few weeks ago.  Reading through the piece gives me the sense that the two authors may just be a little two “cheerleady” (if thats a word).
