The plane I mentioned below, which I am now about to board, will take me to speak at a National Energy Summit tomorrow morning in Columbus, with Reps. Mike Pence, Bob Latta, and three others plus, inter alia, Barbara Boxer pal Harry Alford.

I’m then going on to two more talks before returning home, but joining the fun in the Buckeye State will be the American Energy Express, continuing its tour vexing the energy-taxers and -rationers with a 25-day tour of five states. I’ve kept up with the response they’re getting, on the In the Pipeline briefing I recommended earlier. All over Ohio people are opposed to cap-and-trade — to the great discomfort of four members who voted to support it but just might not if a “conferenced” bill comes back to the House — because these taxpayers and ratepayers understand what’s up.

Something about a candid campaign promise to “bankrupt” Ohio coal and that Buckeye “electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”
