Eco-wackos in control, poor, me hardest hit.
This is what pisses me off the most about "greenhouse reduction" legislation, it has nothing to do with making stuff cleaner,
Quote
To reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation sector 14 percent from 2005 levels by 2020, the cost of driving must simply increase,
It usually has to do with making energy use more expensive so I'll use less so my standard of living will decrease and the gov't gets another tax to take my money.
Of course, the rich and political won't have to worry about it because the first can afford it while the second just take my money to pay for it.
This particular one probably won't happen, but look at every "greenhouse gas reduction" plan, they always involve making energy more expensive.
Which facet screws the little man and gives gov't more of my money while giving eco-wackos a chance for smug self-satisfaction.
That's lose, lose, lose to me.
Blame Tom at Just One Minute for pissing you off, I know I do.
I always shoot the messenger, that'll learn him to keep his mouth shut next time.

Always shoot the messenger. That's one less motherfucker you need to kill when the shooting starts.

As a college student, I understand being poor and being subject to increasing costs. However, this is trading the cost of spewing NOx and ozone-creating chemicals out of the tailpipe to the cost of purchasing that energy in the first place. I'm not as convinced about CO2 as I am about the other pollutants, but the science is still emerging.
Cost is a different term for an ecologist than it is for an economist. Which has value: the dollar bill or the twig? One represents the human construct, while the other represents the natural construct, on which the human one is based.
For me, I drive a 30mpg wagon and strive for efficiency, cheap, innovative efficiency.

You see, I don't think CO2 is a pollutant, I think it's plant food. Hence this bit

The gov't doesn't take that money to make stuff less polluting, they take that tax money and use it to buy votes.
But since you're a college student, take science classes, figure out a way to make things less polluting, become rich.
Don't lower poor people's standard of living for anti-science reasons.
