The politicians have created their own Pirates of Penzance. The money raised by the cap-and-trade will be much more than the money raised selling dispensations from the Pope. However, the brokers of these deals stand to make enough money to make the earnings of Bernie Madoff look like small change.

Boxer pushes for Silicon Valley's help in clean-technology push - San Jose Mercury News

U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer on Tuesday called for Silicon Valley's help in promoting clean technology, describing it as "a win-win for us — where we can be free from foreign oil and pollution and create these fabulous jobs."

"Seventy percent of the Republicans in Congress do not believe there is climate change. Ninety-five percent of Democrats do believe it. That's a challenge," she said.

The anthropogenic global warming hysteria has taken center stage and has displaced meaningful and achievable goals, and has put Wall Street and government at the helm of what appears to be just another money-making power grab.
