Careful on Energy Giants Lobbying for Cap & Trade

E-mail to Congress:

EIN News says, "Energy Giants Pushing for Cap-and-Trade? The U.S. Senate's stalled climate bill is getting a last big push from an unlikely ally -- a group of energy companies who say a carbon market will help them get financing for the next generation of energy production. (reuters.com)".

Careful! Do not be deceived into thinking that the position of any of these energy companies is related to carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas, and global warming. All private companies operate on the basis of supplying to customers a product in the form they desire. A company generally has no reticence of taking government money for any kind of boondoggling operation, provided the money helps its bottom line and maintains the companies financial viability in the marketplace. It is not a company's job to decide what customers or government should have. A company merely needs to supply the product or service, once the public and government decide the requirements.

As a government leader, it is your job to decide what is logical and practical for the society.
