[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 681648, member: 8978"] I suspect some will get very rich on cap and trade but I doubt it will be the dumb old farmer? And when you think about it how smart is cap and trade? Does it really do anything to reduce pollution? I understand your way of thinking Oldtimer. You will get a "subsidy from heaven" for doing things basically the way you always have...while some factory continues to pollute and has to buy offset credits. Then they turn around and say well we need more money if we have to pay for these credits? But wait another factory in China or India doesn't have to pay for their pollution and can out compete us! Better put some tariffs on...up goes the price of the goods! Bottom line nothing changes, pollution wise? The taxpayer gets ripped off for nothing. You the farmer get $6/acre...some greasy city slicker middleman makes billions! [/QUOTE]
