Well, cap-and-trade will just be another opportunity bubble for Wall Street to push paper around while making big bucks for the dealers. And Sen. McCain's domestic energy policies would surely be just window dressing as "our guys" pump Iraq dry during decades of occupation as we await "stabilization" on the way to our bankruptcy. Sen. Obama's policies may differ in the margins, but once Dick Cheney whispers "Peak Oil" in his ear, his fundamental approach will likely be identical.

Don't make your choice based on energy policies.

And who invented carbon trading ? ENRON who was looking for the big bucks from , as you said it " paper shuffling !".
