And Obama sent Pelosi to China to deal with climate change and emissions
They finally realized that if we pass a carbon tax but China and India take no action, our economy will be devastated

HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI IS IN CHINA .... WHERE SHE'S DROPPED HER USUAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS IN AN EFFORT TO COURT THE CHINESE .... WHOSE COOPERATION SHE NEEDS TO PASS CLIMATE CHANGE LEGISLATION IN THE US CONGRESS. THE CONNECTION? PYLE says: "if we tax our emissions and other countries dont participate such as China and India 14:13:49 the net result will be little if any reduction in CO2 worldwide." THAT'S BECAUSE COAL IS A HUGE SOURCE OF CO2 OR CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS .... AND CHINA IS EVEN MORE RELIANT ON COAL THAT THE US IS: ROGERS says: "let me give you some important statistics, in the next decade, china's going to build 800,000 new megawatts of new coal plants. to put that in perspective, that's 2 1/2 times the amount of installed coal capacity in the US." SO IF CHINA DOESN'T REDUCE EMISSIONS, EVEN PAINFUL US EFFORTS WOULD HAVE LITTLE IMPACT ON GLOBAL GREENHOUSE GASES... THOUGH THEY WOULD HAVE AN ECONOMIC IMPACT HERE AT HOME: KOVACS says "and if energy is more expensive, its going to make it more expensive to make a product and its going to make it more expensive for us to compete in the world." AND IF WE TAX CARBON EMISSIONS BUT CHINA DOES NOT, CHINESE MANUFACTURERS WOULD HAVE CHEAPER COSTS -- AN ADVANTAGE OVER AMERICAN COMPANIES, THE ECONOMIC EQUIVALENT OF UNILATERAL DISARMAMENT: PYLE says: "Manufacturing jobs will fly out of this country; they will go to where energy is cheaper more affordable and more reliable." THE US GETS HALF ITS ELECTRICITY FROM COAL, MIDWEST STATES THREE FOURTHS OR MORE. DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS FROM THERE SUPPORT PRESIDENT OBAMA AND MS PELOSI'S CALL FOR REDUCTIONS IN CARBON EMISSIONS --- BUT ONLY IF CHINA FOLLOWS SUIT:
