Massachusetts has probably the most corrupt group of politicians in America. They find ways to fool the taxpayers into thinking their tax dollars are well spent. In one case they invented an organization that used taxpayers dollars to construct a building to accomodate that organization. Then (with the aid of Barney Frank) they turned around and gave the enitre complex to Kopin Corp (Taunton,MA) under the guise of keeping the corp. in Massachusetts.

Another scheme is the Massachusetts Dairy Board…an organization whose sole purpose is to create hack jobs for politcal payback.
Between the USDA and the State Health Department there is more than enough oversight in the dairy industry but they use this agency to control the price of milk which in turn pays the hacks salaries…all at the expense of the taxpayers who (the last figure I had) have to pay around fifty-cents more for a gallon of milk than other states.

And the shafting goes on…and this green-house gases issue will cost the naive taxpayers a bundle over the long term.

Number two…you cannot legislate technology. Here again, big government is dictating policy…and we don’t need any more dictators. All dictorial governments eventually fail and if you stop and look around you will find that the United States is on the failing side of the scale…too many dictates!

Number three…Most so-called green-house gases are also naturally occurring and disapate naturally. There are numerous examples but one only has to look back at the Mount St Helen’s eruption. Tons (literaly) of g-h-g entered into the atmosphere and within days, poof! all gone!
Where did they all go to?

It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature so leave her alone she will do just fine without the government meddlin into her affairs.

Pretty confident Mother Russia tried that one a few times …

If you want to get technologies going to improve energy efficiency, why not subsidise R&D on that directly – a lot more efficient.
