If they get their way and implement a cap and trade hold on to your retirement accounts. I have been moving my retirement account to an offshore account for the last four years and it's all done. I know I'll be glad I did.

On Carbon Dioxide, a Better Alternative

By Keith Crane and James Bartis
Special to washingtonpost.com's Think Tank Town
Thursday, November 29, 2007; 12:00 AM

In either case -- tax or trade -- electricity and gasoline prices would rise. A tax of $30 per ton -- a level MIT suggests would make clean coal technologies an attractive investment to power companies -- would raise gasoline prices by 35 cents per gallon and household electricity bills by 20 to 30 percent. Under cap and trade, prices would have to rise by the same amount to get the same result.

Keith Crane is a senior economist and James Bartis is a senior policy researcher at the RAND Corporation, a nonprofit research organization.

Tax....It's not just for gasoline any more!

They're criminals!! The idea that we have to take extra measures to protect our own $$$ is infuriating! If a private company did what congress wants to do with retirement funds, the CEOs would go to prison.
What are they thinking? More tax on gasoline that they have been screaming that is too high already, the price of gas that is, not the taxes!!! I want to run down the street screaming.
