The single action that will be the suicide of the Democratic Party will be the passage of the Cap and Trade... or Cap and Tax... or Cap and Scam... legislation. There is simply no good that can come out of this.
It will have no effect on climate, the red herring used to justify the legislation.
It will slap every consumer in the face with enormous energy costs that are wholly unnecessary, destructive, and avoidable.
It will place U.S. manufacturers at an enormous disadvantage to Third World competitors.
It will destroy more jobs than the supposed "green" jobs it creates and suppress the economy for decades.
It will replace reliable energy sources with unreliable energy sources that have no access to the energy grid without even more costs.
It will not achieve energy independence.
It will replace the efficiency of the marketplace with the inefficiency of centralize control.
