Comments on: Why Cap and Trade Could Backfire

Let’s be civil. The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste. We don’t always have someone moderating comments, so we ask for your help: If you see a comment that violates these ground rules, or you simply deem it offensive, please e-mail editor [at] flatheadbeacon.com. The views expressed in the comments section do not reflect those of the Beacon.

Great article. You have hit the mark on this one. What we need is innovation and efficiency to solve this problem. We will all pay a huge price for a cap and trade system and it will do absolutely nothing to reduce carbon emissions. Thank you for reporting some common sense

People are so stupid… Lets destroy the place where we live, thats a great idea.  As long as theres some kind of transfer of money when we do, it makes everything ok.  You might as well just hurry up and burn all the fossil fuels we have left, that way we will have some real motivation to find alternative sources, or change the way we live. 

So is this kind of the same thing as imposing a fine on priests who like to fondle your children?  They would just start paying fines in advance so they are free to touch kids all month long.

I am yet again blown away by the ignorance of society.  Its sad that everything revolves around money and power and greed.  Its completely destroying everything, and we destroy with smiles on our faces.

So has anyone seen the jamhole posters up around town?
