House energy bill based upon a lie

Another focus of the bill is to establish robust emissions trading much like our European counterparts. But how do you trade something that can’t be quantified?

[A sparsely attended astroturf event?]: Repower Maine pulls out the stops for climate change bill

Leading the session was Rep. Diane Russell, D-Portland. Russell is a paid staffer for 1Sky, a national group with a mission similar to Repower America. She lamented the state's loss of manufacturing jobs, then outlined how the climate bill could help Maine transition into a "green" economy.
...
Then cell phones were passed around. Callers dialed a Repower hotline that connected to Snowe and Collins' offices. Russell also directed the guests to a pile of 1Sky postcards on the bar, and sheets of paper for writing letters.
...
As the Portland house party broke up, Russell said she was pleased with the result. A political organizer, Russell measures success in outcomes, the number of people contacting the senators, and maybe writing a letter to the editor or talking to a friend. On that night, 11 more people took action for the cause.

Read on to see how bogus this propaganda, that was spoon fed to your children, really was.
