[quote user="Fallen Flag"] Where is this clean energy going to come from, though? Wind, solar, things like that... can't even come close to providing enough power to get this country where some people are saying it should be regarding CO2 emissions. Nuclear? [/quote] Nuclear power is an unacceptable answer to the problem that cap and trade purports to address.  It is true that renewable energy sources will not produce enough energy.  However, the cornerstone of the philosophy that calls for cap and trade is a goal called “sustainability.”  The achievement of this goal requires that we reduce our consumption of energy to a point where renewables such as wind and solar can keep up with demand.  By reducing our consumption of energy, and of goods and services that require energy to the level where renewables can keep, we will be consuming at a sustainable rate, and thus will have achieved sustainability.  Cap and trade calls for us to make sacrifices.    One of the easiest sacrifices will be the elimination of air conditioning in buildings and vehicles.  That will start us down the road to sustainability.  From there, we will lower heating temperature in residential and commercial buildings, drive fewer miles, consume less animal and dairy based food, use less commercial fertilizer, and use far less electricity.
