Glen,

No argument that we are not making the earth any better. However, one of the main complaints on the other side is that the AGW movement is a grab for control, and outright saying what he said plays directly into their hand.

I personally think the incentive to cleaner energy has a great monetary reward, and in our history that has always been enough to get some great inventions. Giving up freedom for reassurance from the gubmint just doesn't sit well with a lot of folks..

Then there is the little problem of the non-democratic countires and their surging growth. So if we tax and restrict oil, etc, here - it will just make it cheaper for them. Their concern for the environment has not shown itself to be reliable, so I really question whether it would make an iota of difference, other than our surrendering the problems and associated freedoms.

Oh, and I found it a little condescending and insulting personally.

Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
