Now Ralph Nader comes out against the Obama Energy Tax.
(Who’s next? Dennis Kucinich? Barbra Streisand?) Via Marc Morano:
Ralph Nader on climate bill: ‘It’s not going to work. It’s too complex. It’s too easily manipulated politically’ — May 11, 2009 Excerpt: Question: So what’s your reaction to the Waxman-Markey climate bill now on the table, which calls for cap-and-trade?
– Nader: I’m really astonished, because I would have thought they would have gone for a carbon tax. I mean, it’s not going to work. It’s too complex. It’s too easily manipulated politically. Right now, they’re having a battle over whether they can even auction the credits off for money. The industry doesn’t want auctions for money. So, they’re already having a battle right from the takeoff. I have to call Markey and see why did he ever buy into that.
