We own them. That is why.

You said, unregulated financial institutions caused this problem.

Don't you think the people up here do, too?

So we are financing our own bailouts through GSEs through the taxpayer, period.

I've always said that's absolutely needed if we're going to get from here to where we want to get to.

The costs will be disproportionally shouldered by the states that have more carbon based resources than other states.

Being from Kentucky, since we produce 95 percent of all of our electric power from coal-based or coal-fired generation...

Nothing new. Thank you. That's what I thought.

In these tough economic times it is irresponsible and reckless to enact legislation that would have such a small effect on global warming while imposing substantial costs on all American households.

Efforts to reduce carbon emissions through the imposition of strict federal mandates as outlined in a cap and trade system are nothing more than a national energy tax.

But, would you please answer my question?
