Uh Oh. Looks like the Cap and Trade Would Remain Regressive and Disproportionate (No surprise here)

US Sec. of State Clinton pledges up to $100 Billion annually to help foreign countries pay for climate change controls. "Clinton said the funding would come from a mix of public and private financing, including revenue raised from the auctioning of emission allowances under a possible U.S. cap-and-trade system still under development on Capitol Hill."

So, basically, any (or a good chunk of) government revenue raised from cap-and-trade wouldn't be filtered back to low-income Americans, or persons/geographies disproportionately affected by the cap-and-trade system. The money wouldn't even stay in the United States. A sizable chunk would go outside of the United States to poor nations - many of which have corrupt government that would more than likely waste the money or use it to further impoverish their people.

BAD policy. BAD, BAD policy.

Real knowledge, like everything else of value, is not to be obtained easily.

That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to the pertinent answer.
