The bill will be so watered down that it will be ineffective. It’s only going to cost a few dollars per year, that means that the bill will be pointless. It will only make poor people reduce their carbon footprint, because rich peole will not even notice. What a bad joke. Posted by: ken at June 24, 2009 12:34 AM
