It's like the monkey wrench complaining that the machine is inherently unworkable...or the slimy hair clog bitching that the drains don't drain.

"efforts to decrease emissions have proven politically infeasible and unenforceable ... because we have done our damnedest to MAKE them politically infeasible and unenforceable..."

This is their latest twist on reality. They take credit for the accomplishments of government regulations.

3D printers can build things from raw sewage? What will they think of next?

So, according to ALEC the same free market that was built based upon the conspicuous consumption that has created the crisis in the first place will suddenly change course and fix the problem? Right...and the only way to fix problems created by Republican policies is to elect more Republicans...douchebags.

Unilateral efforts by the United States ...Good grief. They talk about the government as if it were a foreign power occupying their corporatist fiefdom. Government, elected by the people, has every right to set public standards. Instead, we have this corporatist front organization, ALEC, writing laws for the Republicans to rubber-stamp for payola. This sucks.

Please make the "Mad Men" ad that is auto-playing stop! It makes me want to tear my head from my body, put it on a stake and hit it constantly with a two by four. In fact, I'm fearful that at some point I might ask my computer for a divorce and it will get really ugly. It loves that damned show and my pre-nup gives custody of the children to the refrigerator. For humanity's sake - kill the beast.
