I like Cap & Trade because it will give New England a competitive edge as we get a substantial amount of our power from domestic nuclear plants and imported hydroelectricity. We also have the potential for huge amounts of wind and tidal power so we could be really competitive with the coal fired parts of our economy.

I consider this a good thing.

Didn't one old Senator fight the construction of a possible good wind farm because he would have to see it from his house? Yeah, that surely did happen with old Teddy.

The administration has dropped cap and trade as part of its program. The people they have hired to come up with new names have told them that this grouping of words is very unpopular with political opponents and I think you will see Obama calling it by the new name they suggested.

We will continue to call it by that name but he won't.

If what your saying is true (and I have no reason to doubt you), it should be clear to every American that Obama's war on words is nothing but a organized effort to deceive.

I feel for those people that fall for the deceit.
