Skeet, You understand "cap and trade" very well. My son works for a large electrical producing company and says, " We will do whatever we have to with the realization we are a public utility and are guaranteed a 10% profit. The additional costs we bear will be passed on to the consumer with an increase in profit for the company." That couldn't be much plainer. We are going to get the big screw while a few companies (Goldman Sachs, etc) will be the big winners; and they don't pay taxes in the US. But you do undrstand the mess we will be in.
