I put the show on DVR, just finished watching it about 20 minutes ago. WOW! Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the term "Green" when connected with "Global Warming".
I found it very informative to learn that the buying and selling of "Carbon Credits" will soon hit the Billion $ mark, annually, and that's just here in the U.S.A. Just further proof that governments don't give a shit what you do, as long as you pay tax for it!

i'm all for reducing emissions and pollution.... i was taught when I was real young that the temp of the earth is affected first and foremost by it's distance from the sun... i believe climate change is happening, i just don't buy the whole post-apocalyptic wasteland bit.... the earth has been through a lot worse, and it can recover, but we have to find more sustainable means of generating electricity... i like nuclear power, but we need a better way to discard the waste... sitting in a pool of 100 foot deep water for 25000 years isn't even beginning to be a viable solution..... solar panels and wind energy is also a viable option, but we have to be willing to make the change...
i talked to a good friend about cap n trade last week and it'll almost cmpletely invalidate any budgets generated by companies.... companies are successful if they can accurately plan ahead, and companies start planning for something 5 maybe 10 years in advance.... the accuracy of these forecasts and budgets will be thrown off considerably, and the amount of time and money needed to generate them is huge. not the type of plan i'd go for....
i was all for it, now, not so much.... i said it before, i can see the lack of oversight, and money wasting now.....
i'd go for:
tax-credits or returns for companies that go for green energy sources for the first t10 years, then they slowly go up to their original levels and a way for them to capitalize the extra expenses that are imperative for 'going green' and a method amortize or depreciate, or deplete them (more or less same process for all three) over time, so their margins are not so affected, and their financials don't show extremely poor performance just because they are doing something good for the environment..... the only problem I see is that without proper oversight, greedy companies (all of them, american greed knows no limits) can move some of their other costs over to that capitalized 'green expenses' account, which will hide their actual expenses, and falsely increase their net incomes..... we'll just have to see..........
