As for cap and trade, surely this should be just cap. And carbon neutral? Why not just tax the Co2 consumption out of existence and demand the sequestration anyway? You'll get carbon negation, apparently civilization depends on it.
Where are the Greens on this? Why aren't they declaring the German model that pushed household energy prices up 30 percent? They seem way more concerned about getting a 5 dollar discount on copper internet prices. And exactly why is Obama bragging constantly about his near energy independence when this is on the back of gas fracking?
