If your toilet has clogged up before and now it has clogged up again, will you keep using it even if you think repair is a waste of time and money? Innovation alone will not be nearly enough, some companies need to be forced to change. At www.tlcearth.org we research equipment that uses trash to produce a clean burning fuel(methane), but who really cares? I have learned that most of us do not want to do anything about the mess in our restroom.

I was wondering whether or not US Congress has already dealt with this topic. If so, are there any offical documents (speeches, notes, policy papers) showing the US positions on this issue freely accessible? best regards, Rainer Palmstorfer To whom it may concern,

The key is to have strong regulation and enforce it. I spent 2000 words ripping Peter DeFazio on my blog for criticizing the Krugman piece you cite. I also think they should forbid financial institutions with off-balance sheet exposure from participating in the new market and consider setting up federal clearinghouse organizations on which to trade carbon products. I could go on forever about this. Glad you brought up that jackass Barrasso as well, after his rant about organized crime dominating carbon offsets nothing he ever says again will surprise me.

Don't let it be about money or what any other country is doing. It is about integrity & do we have it or not? Without some incentive no matter how small, (as this is) big business has no reason not to pollute. If you have children...please pass this. Please support this bill.
