Honestly, we should have spent the $500B we just threw at a bunk of corrupt, incompetent bankers on converting the entire country to alternate energy sources. What a great concept that would have been. Oh right, we were too busy throwing it at pigs with lipstick.
My generally libertarian leanings aside, gotta go with will on this one. Climate change isn't an economic issue and the amount of pollution we're using (and the associated resources we're burning doing it) has got to be dealt with sooner rather than later. I think it'd be sheer folly to ignore it for another 4 or 8 years like we have been.
Going cold turkey on the whole affair might be a little more dramatic than necessary, but I'd rather he start bold and come back to reasonable than start reasonable and back down to ineffective.
