**** OMG!!! At 8:30 I BUTCHERED the Fee and Dividend legislation! My Brain is Froze! Waterlogged! $240/ton rolled out over 10 years. Means an added $2 / gal gas at pump by year 10 (about half the fee Europeans have paid, well, forever). Means tripling of coal electricity to $.24 / kwh, but wind techenology already delivers $.08 kwhr electricity!!!!!; but the utilities, wanting to milk their long paid for investments in coal plants, won't roll out the power lines to get it to you!!!, till you DEMAND IT, FORCEFULLY, LONG ENOUGH! AND, solar panels, years, YEARS before anyone expected, they are about $.12 / kwhr and plumetting fast! Build a solar farm in your community - over the garden - companies will lease it to you! HOWEVER, 1. DEMAND THE FEE AND DIVIDEND LEGISLATION, AND/OR B. STAND W/ PR. OBAMA'S EPA TO THEY CAN DO THE REGULATION SHUTTING COAL PLANTS, AND HAVE THE LEGISLATION LIVE FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS!!!!
I GOT THE 'DIVIDEND' PART, RIGHT - THE FEE ON COAL ELECTRICITY, AND GAS? GETS PAID TO YOU, YOU, YOU QARTERLYY - ABOUT $10-20 THOUSAND PER YEAR BY YEAR TEN. YES. GOOGLE IT. GO TO MY 'TRACKING PLAN B' SITE FOR THIS REPUB/DEM PROPOSAL.

"The
experts, including those at many nonprofit organizations, have been in
Washington too long. They are careful to only nudge industry, asking
only for what is ―politically realistic rather than what is in the best
interests of the public. They will not state clearly what is needed.
That is why young people will need to stand up for their rights."
Jim Hansen, "Storms of my Grandchildren."

Carbon tax offers win-win-win
Politico - 12 hours ago
Though some of these difficult changes may be inevitable, what if we
could avoid some tax hikes and spending cuts? And did it while
stimulating the economy and cutting pollution and oil imports? A carbon
tax would do just that, according to our new study.

Here's the path. NYT, OBAMA: "we’re not going to have other people carrying your burdens for you anymore.”
1st, cigarettes,
2nd Health Care Reform...
3RD, - UNHIDE THE WRECKAGE COSTS - PUT IN TODAY'S CARBON FUEL BILLS, NOT OUR CHILDREN'S BILLS. "PAY YOUR OWN WRECKAGE COST FEE and Dividend"
"IT IS NOT A TAX. IT IS NOT A TAX. IT IS NOT A TAX."
The cost of reassembling your car in the shop, IS NOT A TAX. IT IS PART OF THE BILL.
Here's the path. NYT, OBAMA: "we're not going to have other people carrying your burdens for you anymore."

'Loving, why would Pr. Obama declare war on CO2 as you propose?' FB Friend
FB friend's reply to this earlier post:
http://jesusgodgoodetcnjay.blogspot.com/2012/04/loving-what-are-your-views-on-upcoming.html
Hmm, interesting. In many ways I agree with your views. But I have one question; what would compel Obama to start the all out war against CO2? I believe he should, personally, but the prospect of such a high figure such as the president of the united states risking his validity as well as re-election on abolishing one of the prime factors in the once-thriving-but-sure-to-come-around US economy? The slow demise of the US people and the country as a whole could very well come down to CO2 fuel, but the President will avoid these topics during debates with Romney. This is due to the fact that Romney will avoid speaking of the environment, therefore Obama will have no need to re-affirm his stance as an environmentalist as per 2008. If you could say something to Barack Obama right now to urge him to launch the attack on CO2 fuel tomorrow, what would you say? Thank you,
------- Loving, reply >>>
Why did Jesus go to the cross? Why did MLK Jr. put a cross hairs on his chest by speaking out against the Vietnam war, murdered 1 year to the day later? Why did Alice Paul subject herself to being brutally force fed on hunger strike? Why do mothers suffer the pain of birth? I think the question is why would Pr. Obama NOT do it, being the Brother that he is. An honest miscalculation as to his duty, his role, and what he is called to do. For all the reasons you cited and more he IS calculating so far that the best way he can serve is to put as many bandages on as possible, to slow the death of America and the world. He only will change course if he rises to see that he is what I say he is, and that he cannot in good conscience allow Hell for the next 50 generations without a fight; that really, there is nothing to lose. We are already a corpse. Does he try to raise us from the Dead?
Having said this, my major project for weeks now is trying to answer the question, Where are we in the fight to give our kids a habitable planet, how far do we have to go, will be get there in time? It is a crime that no one is asking or answering these questions, and it is left to me. But it is, and I'm doing my best to respond. In the last few days I've seen some reports that are shockingly hopeful, that despite the criminal lack of legislation simply to force CO2 Fuel users to pay the full bill for what they use, rather than sending 80% of the cost onto young people 20, 50, 100 years from now, AS THEY ARE, that other forces are beginning to close the gap. It will take me weeks more before I see clearly.
It is possible, that Pr. Obama, with the resources at his disposal, can see clearly that this is winnable without the Fee and Dividend mechanism, without his declaring all-out-war, and that it is being won, fast enough. I doubt this, but I'm open to discovering that it is true. I KNOW that he is, and has been, doing the best he can on the technology front, whether or not he sees that it is sufficient, and he is correct to do this in any event.
