Americans already laboring under the financial duress of massive unemployment and the threat of a double-dip recession will be hit with massive electricity bill hikes if President Obama succeeds in ramming through the first salvo of his “green agenda” – a carbon tax on electricity companies which will be passed on to customers.
美國人已經在大規模失業的金融束縛下飽受痛苦，和雙底衰退的威脅將受到大量電費上漲打擊，如果奧巴馬總統成功地通過他的“綠色議程”第一保條留條款 - 一對電力公司徵收的碳稅那將被轉駕至客戶。
Obama is in a race against time to exploit fears over climate change as poll numbers show increasing skepticism towards the issue since the Climategate scandal emerged late last year. He is preparing to rush through a weakened version of the Kerry-Lieberman climate bill in an attempt to get a foot in the door, before pursuing the rest of the agenda after the November mid-term elections.
奧巴馬是在與時間競賽，利用對氣候變化的恐懼正如民調數字顯示，對此議題越來越多懷疑，因為氣候門醜聞在去年底出現。他正準備倉卒通過一個削弱版的克里-利伯曼氣候法案，以企圖先踏一隻腳在門口，在11月中期選舉後再追求其餘議程。
Part of this effort to pass a scaled back version of the climate change bill will be a version that only includes carbon caps on electric utilities, White House advisor Rahm Emanuel has indicated.
這一努力的部分去通過一退縮的氣候變化法案版本，將是一個版本只包含碳覆蓋在電動設施，白宮顧問伊曼紐爾指出。
“The idea of a ‘utilities only’ [approach] will also be welcomed,” said Emanuel on Friday.
“這個'只在設施'的想法[方法]將亦受到歡迎，”伊曼紐爾週五說。
As Raw Story points out, this would “greatly leverage the profitability of US nuclear power generator Exelon,” which Emanuel helped create.
如新近完成的故事指出，這將“極大地利用美國核發電機艾斯的盈利”，那伊曼紐爾幫助創造。
As the Wall Street Journal noted on Friday, the idea is to get the carbon trading system, which is primarily owned by oil companies, the Rothschild family and people like Al Gore, in place before expanding it to other industries.
正如華爾街日報週五指出，主意是去令碳交易系統在位，那系統主要是由石油公司、羅富齊家族和戈爾等人擁有，在將它擴大到其他行業之前。
The elite are still desperate to impose a consumption tax on Americans as part of the move towards a “post-industrial revolution” and the kind of nightmare “green economy” that has left Spain with a 20 per cent unemployment rate. In a so-called green economy, over 2.2 jobs are lost for every “green job” created. Electricity prices in Spain have “skyrocketed” since the implemented of these policies, according to a leaked government report.
精英仍不顧一切地去實施消費稅在美國人上，作為舉動的一部分邁向“後工業革命”，和“綠色經濟”那種惡夢，那已留給西班牙百分之二十的失業率。在一個所謂的綠色經濟，超過 2.2份職位會為每一份創做的“綠色工作”失去；自從這些政策的實施，電力價格在西班牙已“直線上升”，根據一份被洩露的政府報告。
The EPA has been busy floating propaganda about how Obama’s cap and trade legislation would cost Americans an average of $79 to $146 per year. In reality, as we have documented, the stronger provisions of the bill would see around $2.9 trillion shaved off the economy by the year 2050 if enacted. The legislation would also reduce GDP by 6.9 percent – a figure comparable with the economic meltdown of 1929 and 1930.
A carbon tax would impact almost every aspect of Americans’ lives, from higher gas prices, to soaring utility bills, to exorbitant excesses related to the “energy efficiency” of their homes. It would be enforced by an army of environmental regulators and green police poking their noses into the private affairs of citizens.
The “green economy” is nothing more than a euphemism for an organized effort on behalf of big business and the government to completely eviscerate the middle class and introduce levies and regulation into every area of their lives.
Massive oil companies like British Petroleum, who Obama pretends to be fighting when he reads off his teleprompter, were amongst the founding members of the carbon trade lobby. BP has supported the Kerry-Lieberman climate bill and other so-called “green” initiatives every step of the way because, far from acting as a punishment for big polluters, they represent a financial windfall.
“As Democrats fight to advance climate change policies, they are resorting to the misleading tactics they used in their health care and finance efforts: posing as the scourges of the special interests and tarring “reform” opponents as the stooges of big business,” writes the Washington Examiner’s Timothy P. Carney.
“There’s a problem: BP was a founding member of the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP), a lobby dedicated to passing a cap-and-trade bill. As the nation’s largest producer of natural gas, BP saw many ways to profit from climate legislation, notably by persuading Congress to provide subsidies to coal-fired power plants that switched to gas.”
Indeed, BP has “explicitly backed” a “higher gas tax,” because the money will end up back in their coffers. If Obama limits the carbon tax to electricity companies, BP won’t be affected. However, even if the tax is expanded to include oil companies, the costs will merely be passed on to the consumer in the form of gas rate hikes. Obama’s constant call to reduce dependence on oil also helps companies like BP sell the myth of artificial scarcity, which in turn boosts the price of oil to their benefit.
Transnational oil companies like British Petroleum and Exxon Mobil have been amongst the biggest promoters of man-made global warming because they are headed up by globalists who understand that the carbon tax will do nothing to help the environment but will be used to bankroll the implementation of global government while swallowing up whatever deposable income impoverished Americans have left.
