Wonderful news - both the Senate and House are working toward legislation to limit the emission of greenhouse gases.  Current Senate proposals focus on cutting carbon-dioxide emissions.  Other suggested measures include increasing energy-efficiency standards and promoting cleaner-burning fuels.  In the House, Speaker Pelosi is creating a committee to recommend legislation for cutting greenhouse gases.

But there's a problem.  All of the proposals nibble at global warming in a communistic fashion.  The proposals are inherently inefficient.  How can any group of legislators (the state) know the best way to allocate resources to solve such a huge problem?

We need market-based solutions to set the stage for our ingenuity, drive and marketplace to solve these problems.  We need a solution similar in function and scope to our patent and antitrust laws - change the "rules" for the long-term benefit of all.    (Google "Tragedy of the Commons")
