Follow the Money, II

London Carbon Exchange set to cash in on cap and trade bill. Well of course it is, and Wall Street’s already drooling. The Obama – Himes bill will do absolutely nothing to save polar bears but it will enrich Wall Street bulls. D’oh!

    Our crooked, prevaricating Congress critter Jim Himes received $2,000 to vote for the climate bill that will do nothing but steal our money and our children’s money.
    Himes doesn’t represent Fairfield County; he’s just an errand boy for Nancy Pelosi.

    Towny,
    How can you say “stock price saw gains of 1000’s percent” ,
    when the share price has halved since August 2008?

    It has doubled in value since Feb 09 and only risen 30% since June 21, 2009.
    Not mind blowing stuff (yet). If I had RISKED $1000 in February, I would have $2000 now. Seems to be similar to the shares on the Dow.

    Won’t get me my well-deserved bonus.
    I can’t see where the 1000’s % increase came from.

    The sad thing is that a huge number of carbon credits are fraudulent. There are whole teams of ex-UN guys running around China helping various Chinese companies get carbon credits for projects that aren’t entitled to them.

    I have personally met with about 5 different “carbon trading” firms who do exactly that.
