ConocoPhillips CEO Mulva Gets Blasted Over Cap-and-Trade

[GreenCitySolar]

Borelli is using old data. Curent Cap-and-Trade systems in most states deal in megawatt hours of no-carbon based energies, not the less quantifiable tonnage of CO2. Mulva is saying that CoP wants to have a say in how to account for total lifecycle costs as carbon subsidies (not paying for carbon emmissions) are removed. Its the same desire of any subsidized industry transitioning out of a subsidy. Cap-and-Trade can be viewed as free enterprise.

Sounds like someone is basically using an investment fund for the sole purpose of getting access to forums like this to push his ideology. And that was a serious misrepresentation of Warren Buffett's investment relationship with ConocoPhillips.

That's just great. People need to give these cap and trade fools a slap in the face and let people know what it will do. There's so many points of hypocrisy in the "fight" against global warming.
