FRONT PAGE CONTRIBUTOR

Michael Williams’ Cap-and-Trade series, continued.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  July 2nd, 2009 at 08:21 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Part 4 and Part 5 of his cap-and-trade review are up.  Part 4 goes in quickly about the differences between the cap-and-trade restrictions of Waxman-Markey and the Clean Air Act (very quickly: it’s the difference between carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide); Part 5 discusses the problems that W-M is going to give Texas specifically.  Still remaining: the Chinese connection and how people can get involved.

Energy policy is going to loom rather large, running up the 2010 elections; should KBH resign her seat to run for Governor, it would be helpful to have this guy in there.  Heck, I wouldn’t mind having him in there now.

PS: He’ll be at the RS Gathering.

Full disclosure: I am in regular contact with the Michael Williams campaign, and I endorse him as a replacement to Senator Hutchison, should she resign her Senate seat.

    Ok, I can?t find any more information on what is ?approved?, what is green. I see those that are making determining what is approved are ?Energy Star? ?Home Energy Rating System? and others like the IESNA. Basically if it is not approved you can?t use it. Sort of like seat belts for your car, they must be DOT approved. (According to Mass laws your state may vary) If you want to make an improvement and use the same seat belts as race car drivers use you can?t. This is despite the fact these seat belts used in race cars are approved by NASCAR to NHRA for crashes above 200MPH with most everyone walking away. Therefore if I salvage a thousand dollar inverter from work and make my dishwasher 60% more efficient I can?t because it is not approved and I don?t have hundreds of thousands of dollars to get it approved. I am stuck with a 5% or so, this is totally wrong! Why aren?t more people talking about this? An energy saving bill that could actually stop attempts to save more on everything we use, heck this stinks.
