Im saying that its fine to account for the specific jobs lost by killing coal etc, but that the government shouldnt make it an open ended commitment that anybody can upgrade to from their current job even if theyre unaffected by the transition to clean energy. Even if that were a good idea (which I dont think it is), it would massively expand the scope of the program and make it harder to pass. Similarly, achieving universal health coverage is a laudable goal, but is unrelated to solving global warming and should be dealt with separately. Combining all of your goals into one piece of legislation makes it much more likely that you can all away with nothing. The other fact thats very important if one wants actually stop global and warming is that the US only produces something like 15% of all emissions, so any solution is going to require other nations to massively reduce CO2 regardless of the progress that the US makes. This means that pumping a ton of money and other resources into research and sharing that technology with the rest of our be world should be the centerpiece of any serious plan. Right And we have to lead first before others will follow. --- Sir Chris <cite>DoomTheGyarados posted [p:925773140] in Politics C...
