Under this law the states must adopt measures to meet a NAAQS goal, and the costs cannot be considered. For global warming, this is going to be a hugely expensive futility parade.

Those costs include the cost of cleaning up the pollution that arrives from abroad. When our fiscal chickens come home to roost, this might be a talking point for politicians looking for pretexts not to pay the national debt.

Congressman Ed Markey was open about how government coercion would work: “Industries across the country will just have to gauge for themselves how lucky they feel if they kill legislation in terms of how the EPA process will include them.”

Sometimes I wonder about the patriotism of people who talk like Markey.

And I wonder how many of them mind if I wonder about their patriotism. I wonder how many of them are multiculti transnationalists who consider patriotism an outmoded imperalistic construct. (Otoh, I’m sure that many people who talk like Markey are patriotic Americans of good will–who, I fear, are badly badly mistaken.)
