Carbon Ration Cards - a thing of the future?
terribly early in the morning on Wednesday, the 28th of May 2008 by Katie
Now I realize that we have had ration cards in the US in the past. And, in times of war, the might again be a necessity. Our parents (OK, for some of you it might have been your grandparents - I am dating myself) can all remember the times that their families had ration cards. I’m not saying that I would like it, but I would understand the need to ration our consumption in wartime. But most wars would have an ending point sometime. Thusly, the ration card would also have an ending point.
But now, there are people who are proposing to ration you for the rest of your life. Yes, I realize that this is a British article, but the many in the US have also bought into the global warming scam, so, this idea could come to a legislator near you.
So, the grand idea is to give every adult (no child) a carbon ration card, which has to be swiped every time the adult purchases gas, fuel, plane tickets. There is talk that even food could be added to the carbon ration (I guess because we insist on eating carbon creating cows). Children would not get a card, so large families would have the same ration amount as a newlywed couple. Once you have maxed out your ration card, you could choose to either freeze to death at home (since you will not be able to drive anywhere to warmth or buy fuel for your house) or buy credits off of someone who has not used all of his. The price of the credit will be “market value” - interesting how this is the only capitalist section of the entire proposal. And the government would set up an agency in charge of running the carbon trading market. (and we all know how well govenments run agencies…)
Anyone listening?

Way too much over there scares me.. and of course the first place to adopt and push such things here is California… they are nuts over there, and seem to feel they need to push their ideals and problems onthe rest of the US!
i too understand war-rationing.. i think our troops should have the best they can, and also to not have people being so freaking anit-american over here…
but to do a global-nazi concept of life-time rationing.. and just like the rich can buy carbon credits this policy has people buying credit for this crazy concept too.. and yet those who promote these things are rich folk.. hummmm
