Right dtroutma, when there is record unemployment and businesses are failing all across the country, what do we do? We tell them they can either spend a fortune they can’t afford modernizing, or they can buy “lord Obamessiah dispensations” to cover their “pollution”. Either way, this will just lead to more businesses dying, so we’ll just get more products from higher polluting Chinese factories, but then that might be the lord Obamessiah’s plan all along, as he’s quadrupled our debt and made sure we’ll never be able to get out of our debt with China.
I can see why this stuff appeals to you hate-America people, as this is just going to destroy our country, then you ultra-lefties can take the ruins and create your perfect Nanny State, where all we peons are under total control and your social engineering can assure a wonderful commie state.
Sigh,
They won’t make more money. The profit margin will stay the same. They WILL pass the COST of cap and trade on to the consumer but I doubt they’ll try to add to many %pts to the margin. Not that wouldn’t want to but there negative effects to raising the prices at a certain point.

Varvel must not have read the ads on how clean natural gas or propane are?
Of course his real complaint is that what’s bad for profit margins at oil and coal companies will be bad for the USA?
