Conspiratorial Hysteria

"The science of global warming is speculative. But there's nothing speculative about the damage a CO2 capture program will do to this country. I know the names of many of the thousands of people -- American workers, their families --whose lives will be destroyed by what has become a deceitful and hysterical campaign, perpetrated by fear-mongers in our society and by corporate executives intent on their own profits or competitive advantage."

". . . What you are really doing with a global warming program is getting rid of low-cost energy." The consequences? Americans have been fretting about losing jobs to places such as China or India, which already offer cheaper energy. "You hike the cost of energy here further, and you create a mass exodus of business out of this country."
