You tell me: is going around from blog to comment on Grist to twitter and all around ..way too much? Grist comment:

The Obama budget takes 30 billion away from old energy economy subsidies, corporate welfare for fossil fuel industries. Would a carbon tax or cap & trade raise that much? And if these options did raise that much, would they be politically possible? Would rebates to lower and middle income taxpayers eat most of the cash raised? 30 billon per year, spent wisely, would be enough to spur new energy economy green job creation. Stop debating over cap & trade (which is being scammed in europe by hedge funds) and carbon taxes, which can't pass a senate in "reconciliation" mode, and with dem coal state senators deserting Obama's green agenda. Subsidy diversion is IT! And it meets the goals of this article's title. "...Simple, Immune to manipulation, and politically palatable". twitter: http://twitter.com/amazingdrx blog: http://amazngdrx.blogharbor.com/blog

It all could get confusing.  Just hope no one adds timetwitter&, where we tweet into the past through a solar orbiting  tachyon accelerator.
