It's not Fox News it's... 31k scientists... and a whole lot more people that actually study this shit you know... for a living. Not for, an agenda (no matter what side you're on)

Here's the thing though it doesn't even FUCKING MATTER because any way you slice it we should be reducing our emissions across the board. There's just no reason not to create a cleaner planet... and it's coming! And not because of any amount of fucking laws or regulations or bills passed to ban INCANDESCENT FUCKING LIGHT BULBS or additional taxes on power consumption (particularly non renewable energy sources), or any of that bullshit.
It's coming because technology is reaching a point where it's economically feasible to create solutions which consumers can actually afford.
I would argue that the additional taxes imposed on the energy industries (and for any industry for that matter) is nothing but a tax on the consumers themselves. The cost is always passed on to the consumer, and since markups are so often percentage based... you get the idea. Taxing the hell out of an industry doesn't do much good; it only generates more revenue for the government from the pockets of its constituents. Maybe they should note that the very industry they are taxing has more vested in alternative energy sources than just about anyone else... Chevron researches biodiesel from algae, shit even BP drops almost $1B a year in research of alternate fuels...
