The speed with which everything is happening should be waking up even the most skeptical, unless willingly blind – Cap and Tax (Trade) is the biggest power grab by our government that we have ever witnessed. Through it they will be able to regulate almost every energy consuming activity. Add to this Single Payer socialized medicine and WHAT you eat as well as WHAT you do will be under regulatory control of the government as it effects your health.

You do realize utilities have 40 years to comply right? That means more nukes, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal etc... And that cap and trade already been done before quite sucessfully in this country? And that all of this is barring the advent of fusion or other technologies such as room temperature superconductors (high tension lines) that will ultimately benefit energy production as well.

So your saying that the government regulation don't go into effect for 40 years? No money changes hands for 40 years? Why would they waste time passing a law that doesn't happen for 40 years? Sounds decidedly un-governmental to me.
