One of the things that concerns him the most is, we haven't talked about the specifics.

the suggestion that the 1 billion ton limit on domestic greenhouse gas offsets that are in the Waxman bill is roughly equivalent to sequestration potential of planting 170 million acres of trees.

Their bill is an astoundingly inefficient way to get a tiny reduction of emissions.

What effect would that have on the overall worldwide reduction in CO2, and her response was it wouldn't have.

if you really believe that CO2 is causing global warming, why not just tax CO2? I mean, that is the honest way.

I went over and met with the Farmers Coop regional group on Friday.

Why would we construct this big contraption of payoffs and allowances and taxes and mandates ... when all we have to do is simply say, let us start with carbon.

the supposed environmental benefits its supporters claim it will create are an illusion.

they suppose the environmental benefits its supporters claim it will create are illusory.

farm income could drop by $8 billion under cap-and-trade--and offsets will make up less than 10 percent of this lost income.

I contend that increasing the gas tax and higher use tax, whatever you call it, is going to result in thousands of jobs.

We want to expand all domestic production, all forms of energy.

Supporters of cap-and-trade say it is all worth it because their policy would help break our dependence on foreign oil.

Here's what I actually said, and what I predicted, 4 years ago:

we have a colossal mess on our hands, created in large part by litigation.

CAIR is significantly more vulnerable to court challenges than Clear Skies would have been and will undoubtedly be held up, not unlike the Clinton administration's 1997 air quality standards.

Well, what about water that collected in a ditch? You see, this is what I am really concerned about----
