[quote user="henry6"] It was said of the broadcasting industry that the eliminaiton of ciggarette and other tobacco advertising would seal its doom.  That was back in the 60s. How many more radio and TV stations are there today?  So what if certain commodities are lost by the rail industry, there are still a lot of commodities, including people, that need and will need to be transported.  This energy bill is good for everyone in the long run, so don't sweat the small stuff and don't be pushed around by ignorant, self serving, politics. [/quote]   Well it is not law yet, and it may never become law if the population learns what it would mean if it does become law.  But despite the fact that the bill is not yet law, the bill clearly states its objectives in the reduction of CO2 within a timeframe, and this can be translated into the cost to the consumer for significantly higher charges for heating, cooling, lighting, transportation, food, and all consumer goods.  I would not call it “small stuff” as you say.   The basic objective is to crush out the fossil fuel economy by punishing taxes, and use the money to create a brand new renewable fuel economy and its market out of whole cloth.  It’s not small stuff.  It is very big, bold, and shocking stuff on a fast-track schedule.
