I'm always a little lighthearted but seriously, read today's WSJ
journal on Obama's energy policy. They will skip the testing and go
right to taxation. We are all likely to pay a carbon tax simply by
owning an old car. :(
"Jason Grumet is currently executive director of an outfit called the
National Commission on Energy Policy and one of Mr. Obama's key
policy aides. In an interview last week with Bloomberg, Mr. Grumet
said that come January the Environmental Protection Agency "would
initiate those rulemakings" that classify carbon as a dangerous
pollutant under current clean air laws. That move would impose new
regulation and taxes across the entire economy, something that is
usually the purview of Congress. Mr. Grumet warned that "in the
absence of Congressional action" 18 months after Mr. Obama's
inauguration, the EPA would move ahead with its own unilateral carbon
crackdown anyway."
