Energy Czar Raises Possibility Of EPA Implementing Cap-And-Trade - The Atlantic Politics Channel

Energy Czar Raises Possibility Of EPA Implementing Cap-And-Trade - The Atlantic Politics Channel:


Oct 2 2009, 11:34 am by Chris Good


There's more than one way to get cap-and-trade, President Obama's energy czar said today.

Carol Browner, the former Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) administrator who now serves in the Obama administration's newly created role of energy czar, floated the possibility today of the EPA implementing cap-and-trade energy policies, during an interview at The Atlantic's First Draft of History symposium in Washington, DC.

'We also have the reality of EPA, under current law, moving forward...to start the traditional regulatory clock,' Browner said when asked, during an interview with Atlantic Media Political Director Ronald Brownstein, about the difficulties of passing the stalled energy/climate bill--which would implement a cap-and-trade carbon emissions scheme--through the Senate."

From The Business Insider, Oct. 2, 2009:

And they're out and they're way worse than expected with the non-farm economy shedding 263,000 jobs in September. That compares to estimates of 175,000, and it's even worse than Goldman's pessimistic estimate of 250,000."

In her speech in Copenhagen today, First Lady Michelle Obama said her trip to Denmark, along with the travel of her 'dear friend' and 'chit-chat buddy' Oprah Winfrey, as well as tomorrow's visit by President Obama, is a 'sacrifice' on behalf of the children of Chicago and the United States. 'As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days,' the first lady told a crowd of people involved in the Chicago project, 'so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring this bid home.'"

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) told MSNBC that he is 'convinced' the Senate cap-and-trade bill he introduced with Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) yesterday has a chance to pass. According to the Hill, Kerry said, ''I'm convinced it has a shot.' Kerry-Boxer is even more stringent in some respects than Waxman-Markey, calling for a 20 percent reduction in carbon emissions compared to the 17 percent required by the bill that narrowly passed the House."

A cherished maxim of self-congratulatory liberals is the notion that diplomacy and negotiation are always the best course of action because 'as long as the two sides are talking, they are not shooting.' That was not true on the morning of December 7, 1941. On that very day, Japanese diplomats were in Washington to continue ongoing talks for peace between Japan and America, as Japanese planes were slaughtering some 2,400 American servicemen at Pearl Harbor."

RealClearPolitics - Cap And Trade Vote Shows Promise, Peril For Both Parties

RealClearPolitics - Cap And Trade Vote Shows Promise, Peril For Both Parties:

Back in April, I wrote a piece arguing that the Democrats would have trouble governing despite their large majorities in both Houses of Congress. My theory was that because so many Democrats hail from Republican-leaning districts, Democrats would struggle to cobble together majorities on contentious issues that divided along partisan lines.

The recent vote on so-called “Cap and Trade” legislation demonstrates this difficulty. It only passed narrowly: 219-212. Eight Republicans voted for the bill, while forty-four Democrats voted against it."

IRVING TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Each day before the school bus comes to pick up the neighborhood's children, Lisa Snyder did a favor for three of her fellow moms, welcoming their children into her home for about an hour before they left for school.

Regulators who oversee child care, however, don't see it as charity. Days after the start of the new school year, Snyder received a letter from the Michigan Department of Human Services warning her that if she continued, she'd be violating a law aimed at the operators of unlicensed day care centers."

Naturally, the Chinese are unhappy and it remains to be seen whether they’ll retaliate. When we consider the evil effects of protectionism, it’s instructive to consider the lessons of the past – apparently unlearned in the present – like the run-up to the Great Depression."

American Thinker: Redefining Sarah Palin:

As President Obama fumbled badly at the UN and G-8 last week, Sarah Palin began redefining herself as presidential timber.

When seasoned chess watchers see a game in progress, they can often pinpoint a critical moment when the players go from maneuvering for position, to a fast end-game of kill or be killed. In the shadow battle between Obama and Ahmadinejad I believe we just saw the transition to the end game at the United Nations. Obama skeptics (as opposed to his media butt-kissers) came to pretty much the same judgment: His UN performance was 'sophomoric.' Obama looked like dead meat talking to all the vultures who roost and caw on the craggy peaks of world politics. Sarkozy openly ridiculed him, and Obama didn't even notice. His nose got in the way."
