Unless it's explicitly demanded that CCS subsidies be removed, the coal politicians will find a way to use them to prop up the industry and prolong our reliance on coal.

From being a scientist, to being a scientist that was temporarily partially shut up by the Bush Administration (including inadvertent cancellations of his appointments and speaking engagements) to being arrested in a civil disobedience at a coal facility, he may have come that far. Don't box him in. Don't just discount him because he's "a scientist." James Hansen may very well have become a policy expert, by this point in time.

Climate goals are meaningless with no realistic way to meet them. Let's stop going with the flow, everyone.... The flow will get us all drowned with rising sea levels.

Cap & Trade is not the answer to our problems. I think we need to Cap and Trade-In our elected officials and find ones with a more realistic and less corrupt bill.
