Thanx for the 15% tax hike Obama. So much cost for nothing. This won't put a darn dent in CO2 emissions because S. America, Asia, and Africa aren't joining in. Besides, every time a major volcano erupts ash, that put more CO2 in the air than the sum of all human history.

You were 'not informed' because it's 'not true'. Wise up and check the facts instead of listening to lies from Glen Beck and other right-wing liars (not all rightees are liars).

What's $1,761 a year to save out only planet? Besides, just repeal the Bush Crime Family tax cuts for the rich, close the offshore tax havens (for the rich), and stop bombing four countries for the rich (while the poor go and die) and we can pay for all of this. And health care to boot.

Energy is going to cost Americans more money ?! Gee, maybe they will USE less ! The country freaked out when President Carter asked us to turn down our thermostats during the 70's energy crisis, and it took gas at $5 a gallon for people to get rid of their freakin gas-guzzling suv's! I know I made fewer unnecessary trips around town, and I already get 38 mpg. We Americans think it's our "God-given right" to rape and pillage the environment so we can leave every light on in the house and sit in the parking lot with our engines idling. I doubt that same God is very happy with what we've done to the planet. I WANT my energy costs to go up if it means more environmental regulation on the extraction, production and disposal. Nobody wants the federal government to regulate, but beside the fact that there really are no state boundaries when it comes to the environment, irresponsible behavior warrants an authority figure taking over. Children would run wild without parents setting limits. When we can grow up and behave like responsible humans . . .

This of course is simply not true. You do not consider the fuels used in mining, purifying, enriching, and the post use processes. You also do not include the huge use of fuels during the construction process.

Boy this is great news. All thos Co2-coal stuff is B.S. Every time a volcano erupts it spews more CO2 into the air than that produced over all of mankind's history

Actually this is not true either. CO2 from man is 5x the emissions from nature.
