Everyone Hates the Cap-and-Trade Bill
- 2 Comment
Greenpeace just came out in opposition to the massive, 1,200-page bill the House is considering today. I say 1,200 pages, but it may have expanded to 1,500 overnight, as there’s a rumor than 300 pages of amendments were added around 2 a.m.
Conservatives quickly took to Twitter to laud Greenpeace, which is opposing the bill for entirely different reasons than the Right, but nonetheless.
Thus, the cap-and-trade bill solved global warming for free, before even being passed, because Hell hath officially frozen over.
The House has been slugging it out all morning on the floor over this monstrosity. After their moment of silence for Michael Jackson, they’ll be back to it. Americans for Prosperity has a target list for voters to call, and activists on Twitter have been referring followers to the Congressional switchboard.
President Obama himself called fence-sitters yesterday, but the winds do not feel favorable for Pelosi’s giant, sweeping overhaul of the energy economy. If the bill narrowly passes, as was predicted yesterday, it’s likely to make life difficult for a bunch of Blue Dog Democrats in 2010.
