Duke CEO calls for carbon tax

The CEO of one of America's largest energy companies is calling for carbon tax to reduce global warming.
Personally, I feel the time has come to act -- to take steps as a nation to reduce the carbon intensity of our economy," Paul Anderson told several hundred Charlotte business and civil leaders at a breakfast meeting. "And it's going to take all of us to do it."

Anderson acknowledged a national carbon tax would mean bigger utility bills and higher prices at the gas pump for consumers. But unless industry leaders take the lead, he said, the long-term outcome could be even more disastrous.

"If we (the U.S. energy industry) ignore the issue, we would be the easy target," he said. "The worst scenario would be if all 50 states took separate actions and we have to comply with 50 different laws."
Naturally, George W. Bush would never let such a thing happen. Anderson knows this, so it's safe for him to line up behnid a carbon tax without being blamed some day for lining up behind a carbon tax.

Still, this is significant.


Heeeee's back

He can quit anytime. It's not a problem, really. He has it under control.

Publius is back.




Justice DeLayed, part II

Amazingly, some American corporations didn't get the memo, and are still lining up to pay for Tom DeLay's legal defense.
