Yes to Energy Freedom - No to Cap-and-Trade - HUMAN EVENTS
As U.S. government authorities debate “cap-and-trade,” a gigantic new tax and rationing burden with which they plan to further hobble American coal, oil, and natural gas technology, consider for a moment the qualifications and accomplishments of the lawyers, bureaucrats, and now community organizers who have gradually displaced, as energy “decision makers,” the engineers and industrialists who built America’s energy industries.
...
The people of the United States have a clear choice -- either continue to destroy the capital equivalent of Hoover dam every day, or get rid of the politicians in Washington who have caused and continue to cause this destruction. Nor should they be misled by the excuses that hydrocarbons cause “global warming” and nuclear energy is too dangerous. These are merely new lies to justify the amplification of old policies (see www.petitionproject.org) -- tax and regulate policies that transfer money and power to Washington at the expense of American freedom and prosperity.
...
We cannot make sufficient quantities of the energy we need without the use of hydrocarbons and uranium. To force our engineers and industrialists to make useful energy without hydrocarbons and uranium is the modern equivalent of asking ancient Egyptian slaves to make bricks without straw. If we continue to allow this, we will have fewer bricks and inferior bricks -- less energy and less prosperity.

Until the American people realize that cap-and-trade is simply a government plan for control and income redistribution, the voters deserve what they get. While it is unfortunate to be caught in the middle of this, I am willing to sacrifice to ensure that these fearmongers and career power brokers are booted out of office.
