My Senator's response regarding Cap and Trade

[graywolf]

Thank you . . .
 
. . . for contacting me about climate change. I understand your concerns.
 
While I respect your views, I also recognize the growing scientific consensus about climate change.  If left unchecked, the effects of climate change include lower water levels in the Great Lakes, threats to fish and wildlife, diminished ability to grow food crops, and an overall threat to our quality of life. That's why we need a balanced, common-sense approach to this problem.
 
As Congress considers climate change legislation, I am working with my colleagues, especially from the Midwest, to ensure that the finished product works for Michigan. If the final legislation does not work for our state, I will not support it.
 
That is why I have been leading efforts in the Senate to create a Clean Energy Development Authority to provide financing for cutting-edge new technologies and create jobs. This financing is absolutely critical so that we do not trade a dependence on foreign oil for a dependence on foreign technology.
 
It's not enough that we simply use green technologies, we have to make them in the United States. A wind turbine is made of over 8,000 individual parts, and all of those parts can be made in Michigan. That's why I'm working to make green manufacturing a central part of our energy strategy. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act included $2 billion for advanced battery research and manufacturing. It also included a new tax credit to promote the manufacture of renewable energy products.
 
I believe that by making the right policy choices and the right investments, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a way that revitalizes Michigan's economy and creates new jobs.
 
New energy solutions create new jobs and new industries. We are in the midst of an energy revolution that is creating new opportunities for innovation, investment, and invention. At the same time, we are leaving a cleaner environment for our children, and we are breaking our dangerous addiction to foreign oil.
 
Because of our strong industrial and agricultural sectors, supported by some of the best research universities in the country, Michigan is in a unique position to lead the nation as we transition to a green energy economy. I will continue to fight for a climate change policy that focuses on creating good-paying jobs and strengthening our economy.
 
Thank you again for contacting me. Please continue to keep me informed about issues of concern to you and your family.
 
Sincerely,
Debbie Stabenow
United States Senator

When will the government issue me my "beanie" with the propeller on top?  That way I can charge the battery pack that I will be required to wear.  The battery pack can then be plugged into a variety of low power appliances including my new electric transport module.  While my senator respects "my opinion" it really means that she is going to vote for this hidden tax scheme.  The dumbing down of America continues!

Like you said everything after that first statement is just politician speak for "I'm gonna do what I want and piss on you.....".

Typical.

I do hope you have re-contacted your Senator (by phone talk to an aid if necessary) and told her you do not want her to continue this effort and if she does she will not get your vote nor the votes of all her other constitutes that you can contact.

You may have heard about the EPA suppressing a report that contradicted the position of Cesar Obamus regarding climate change.  The guy that wrote the report is Dr. Alan Carlin.

Carlin boss, Al McGartland told Carlin by email that the administration and the administrator have decided to move forward and that his [Carlin] comments didn’t help the legal or policy case for their decision to move forward.

Carlin was told that he was to have no direct contact with anyone outside a small group at EPA on the topic of climate change; he was also told that his report would not be shared with anyone else in the group working on climate change.

Alan Carlin said that the research that the EPA was relying on was at least three years out of date, and didn’t reflect the current data.

If you want to really blow a gasket watch this from Glenn Beck.

I have also read things written by people who contradict Carlin’s analysis of the data.  They claim that the data is false or that the data is misrepresented.  I can’t tell you who is right and who is wrong.  The math discussion I read will make your eyeballs spin just like Mr. Toad’s.

All I know is what my Dad used to say, “Figures never lie, but liars figure!”

TRANSLATION FROM POLITICAL SPEAK TO ENGLISH:



Dear Constituent:

Bend over and grab your ankles.

Sincerely,

United States Senator

Here in the Midwest we call it....BOHICA    Bend Over, Here It Comes Again.  When the landscape is covered with Windmills then what?  We can close all the windmill factories, lay off all the workers that are making $9.00 an hour with no benefits, put the kite industry out of business and divert the duck, geese, songbird flyways.  Seriously, this whole travesty is based on a model from Spain.  After 3 years only 1 person in 10 is still employed in a low paying job.  Countries like France have been building nuclear power plants.  But the greatest industrial power in the history of mankind will be just mere shadow of its former self.
