From the messiah's mouth..

"Obama told the gathered Republicans that "the gulf oil disaster should heighten our sense of urgency to hasten the development of new, clean energy sources that will promote energy independence"
In other words, this new disaster is a great excuse to force his agenda no American should want, (CAP AND TRADE!!!).

Politicians love cap and trade because they can claim to be taxing "polluters," not workers. Hardly. Once the government creates a scarce new commodity, (in this case the right to emit carbon) and then mandates that businesses buy it, the costs would inevitably be passed on to all consumers in the form of higher prices.

Putting a price on carbon is regressive by definition because poor and middle-income households spend more of their paychecks on things like gas to drive to work, groceries or home heating.
