Which is why a bi-partisan group of experts, like the National Commission on Energy Policy, was created....to recommend comprehensive solutions that could achieve consensus....

Well, the last part of my post basically indicated by support for this aspect of it, too, but what I meant was that it's beyond the scope of pure economy. We're experiencing different economic effects due to CO2 emissions already, though people might not be thinking about it. I agree with you DC, so I apologize if my short statement of support mischaracterized the issue from your perspective.
