Bill Maher received quite a shock on his show last Friday when his guest, Governor Brian Schweitzer (D-MT), said cap-and-trade was the wrong approach.

Schweitzer, who heads the Democratic Governors Association, explained that cap-and-trade, says to the biggest utilities in America we are going to add a trillion dollars to your bottom line we are going to franchise you and only you to be the producers of CO2. I think its the wrong approach.

Maher was clearly shocked that the Governor wouldnt go along and endorse cap-and-trade. Maher was exasperated, and asked, But isnt it the Democrat approach?

Schweitzer responded by saying It might be some of the Democrats approach, but I think if you want to get to the root of the problem you establish a price of the cost of that pollution to the rest of society

  • Goldman Sachs- socializing risk and privatizing profit

  • Maher is a douchnozzle

  • "What!! You aren't in lockstep with the rest of us? You MUST be an idiot" The closeminded views of little Billy

  • Goldman Sachs to be carbon regulator?

    So does this mean that freebooting Goldman Sachs could be the de facto regulator of the carbon market?

    As the global warming bubble inflates and then bursts, will Goldman Sachs self-regulate all the way to the bank making record profits at the expense and misery of taxpayers and consumers
