... a new and larger window. In the earlier posts on this subject, I showed how the intent of both the Waxman Markey and Kerry Boxer Bills was not to actually reduce Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Greenhouse gas, but just to place a further cost on them.

You must be a fool or unable to read. They didn't use a substance that was on the list. The list is what the NFL issued stating that "These are the substances you can't use" ! Star caps was not on the list and if your going to use a list, you'd better be sure it's accurate and up to date. You can't come in after the fact and want to suspend someone for something you didn't or failed to put...

... in day out. Any reductions will be minute when compared to the overall 3.35 Billion tons. Both the Waxman Markey and Kerry Boxer Bills designers and those promoting them know exactly what a goldmine this is, and no amount of changing the wording to make them more acceptable will change the fact they they are in fact just a huge new tax on something that we all just HAVE to have.
