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."

263,000 Jobs Lost Is Way Worse Than Expected: Tech Ticker, Yahoo! Finance:

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."

Glenn Beck - Current Events & Politics - Glenn Beck: Importance of Chicago's Olympic Bid:

I want to talk to you about two Copenhagens.

The first is in Denmark, which President Obama leaves for on Thursday, looking to bring the 2016 Olympics to Chicago and joining his wife Michelle who already made the flight there.

But, in doing, so he's forgetting at least two things:"

George Will

George Will: Cooling Down the Cassandras

In this headline on a New York Times story about the difficulties confronting people alarmed about global warming, note the word 'plateau.' It dismisses the unpleasant — to some people — fact that global warming is maddeningly (to the same people) slow to vindicate their apocalyptic warnings about it."

Michelle Obama: It's a 'sacrifice' to travel to Europe to pitch for the Olympics. But I'm doing it for the kids. | Washington Examiner:

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.'"

PAT: First of all, we kind of give you an idea of where Bill Maher stands politically.

GLENN: Okay. Listen carefully.

PAT: Keeping in mind that last night was the night in which the Empire State building was all aglow in the colors of China to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the communist state over there.

MICHELLE OBAMA: And Barack knows that we are

The American Spectator : AmSpecBlog : John Kerry's Political Instincts on Cap and Trade

Tax and Trade, Tax and Treason.....this has NOTHING to do with the environment!

The American Spectator : AmSpecBlog : John Kerry's Political Instincts on Cap and Trade:

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."

The American Spectator : A Clear and Present Danger

The American Spectator : A Clear and Present Danger:

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."

The American Spectator : ACORN's Prophetic Lawyer:

But whether you try to implement some or all of these recommendations, there must be someone committed to follow-up. There must be a review mechanism, and a means of holding people accountable after any final decisions are made. If you do not make some hard choices now and ensure they are carried out, they almost certainly will be made for you.'
-- attorney Elizabeth Kingsley of Harmon, Curran, Spielberg Eisenberg LLP, in a prophetic legal memo to ACORN dated June 19, 2008, the day before ACORN's national board ousted ACORN founder organizer Wade Rathke."

CNSNews.com - Lying Propaganda:

Michael Moore’s new film, “Capitalism: A Love Story” will be released next month. I’ve neither seen nor read reviews of the film, except for a short piece in the London Telegraph (9/6/09) titled “Michael Moore film calls capitalism evil.”

Aware of Michael Moore’s previous films, I know that it will be at best a misleading story about capitalism. So let’s do some defensive mental preparation, not about the film but what is and what is not capitalism."

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."

NY Times To Skip The Review Of Gov. Palin's Book?(Sarcasm?):

With Gov. Palin's upcoming book rocketing to #1 in sales on both Amazon (hard to find on search) and Barnes & Noble, the New York Times has announced that it will not review the Governor's book because no one is interested in a washed-up Alaskan politician. In a related article, the Times has also announced that the October 11th sunday Times Book Review magazine will be entirely dedicated to the Lion of the Senate, the late Ted Kennedy, and his new literary masterpiece. Contributing writers will include Jim Wright, Nancy Pelosi and Jacques Cousteau."

17) America's low ranking on international comparisons of infant mortality proves other countries' socialist health care systems are better than ours.

America has had a comparatively high infant mortality rate since we've been measuring these things, going back to at least the '20s. This was the case long before European countries adopted their cradle-to-grave welfare schemes and all while the U.S. was the wealthiest country on Earth."
