A U.K. parliamentary climate change group echoes that analysis, says the BBC, quoting the group's vice chairman, Lord Redesdale:
We can either heat our homes and have hot baths, or fly but not both. There really does need to be much tougher policies on reducing carbon emissions from the homes.President Obama sounds much the same, promoting similar results.
So a passionate Liberal Democrat and partisan Democrat liberal play-off a pliant media "rigging the debate" to push eco-paternalism. Each seems determined to impoverish its people, pointlessly, to "fix" an un-proven problem.
At least the "special relationship" bonding Britain and America persists: mother country and New World progeny are planning a double funeral.

I have long seen us as stumbling along the socialist path of the UK, but about three decades behind. Obama is attempting to erase that seemingly overnight. Indeed, with all of his nationalizations, he seems our Clement Atlee. As I recall, the UK didn't do too well under Atlee.
Thank you for the link.
Well, we might want to wait a bit. They might be on to something, though the whole "impoverish its people" bit is far too worrying for my tastes.

What? LSD? Mushrooms? If they seriously imagine anything but disaster, they gotta be on some kind of serious medication.

Absolutely true. Utterly unbelievable, but that's what's going to happen unless cooler heads prevail in the Senate.

I didn't think Waxman-Markey would pass the House, so I'm getting more worried about the Senate. Remember--Al Franken is 60 votes.
GW:
I fear Obama's more like James Callaghan.
