Sulfur dioxide limits are defensible; carbon dioxide limits much less so, as carbon dioxide is often more beneficial than detrimental as opposed to sulfur dioxide, which is more noxious.
Cap-and-trade legislation contemplated by the left would be catastrophic for my state and my family budget. Educate yourselves, Americans, and understand the fundamentals of the energy economy and its implications for your job, your freedom, and your mobility.
President Obama - working hard to keep all manufacturing and industry off US shores - unemployment be damned.
