Now votes are less likely to be bought and special interest will have less power to get those earmarks, this is a "GOOD" thing
It means bipartisanship will have to work, also, Democrats are not organized, never have been, the the GOP is split in half right now because of the Tea Party. Something like this can bring them to work together or not get anything done. Anyway you look at it, politics will change, A LOT

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
