The details of the bill can make your eyes glaze over, but involve auctioning carbon credits and assessing huge fines to the power company when goals aren’t met. What’s important to realize is that these carbon credits are a far left fabrication meant to show what they believe the market’s reaction should be to carbon usage. The market (as in you and I) is too stupid and incompetent to react appropriately without their interference.

The far left believe that they are smarter and better than the rest of us and have the gift of second sight. They must impose their divine guidance on us lower orders. Invariably this guidance comes in the form of fines, fees, and taxes that destabilize the economy and burden middle class and working class consumers. As often happens, the far left want you to believe that evil corporations will pay these monies. That is fantasy thinking, which is age appropriate in 5 year olds. Look in the mirror. It will be you and me opening our wallets even further. And it will be people who can least afford it.

Walking through Portsmouth during the Christmas season I observed that Martha Clark’s house was well lighted. Enjoyably so, and I thank the Senator for her efforts. But it’s obvious that the cost of electricity is of no concern for her. This bill won’t cause any reduction in her home energy usage or in her Senate office located across the street from her residence. Or cause her to walk more and drive less. Perhaps the Senator would feel better if she personally absorbed these fines. I know I would.

But if you are working paycheck to paycheck just remember, it’s your far left “friends” who are making you pay more for their whimsy – and for their “Cadillac liberal” guilt.
