President-elect Obama even has stated that any utilities building coal-fired plants could go bankrupt buying pollution allowances.  [...] [...] Obama has proposed an economy-wide cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon emissions by 80% by 2050.  His system – which would set an overall emissions limit, then require polluters to buy allowances at public auction – would increase electricity rates and discourage coal consumption in the U.S. market.

Obviously Democrats favor government stimulus while Republicans favor private stimulus. I wish i knew the right mix to our current situation but i don't. One thing that is interesting that might be the real determining factor is religious ferver. The USA and South America were both explored during the same time. Many came to the USA to practice their Christian faith free of government impositions, while many went to South America looking for gold and the fountain of youth. Today the largest christian movement is an underground one in China, followed by India and other emerging countries. While the governments do not endorse such moves they also cannot control a heart and mind that is looking for something beyond material gains and thus (no disrespect to Islam which apart from the oil underneath their land cannot make this claim) where Christian revival occurs it seems God blesses those people. So as the Obama motto "change you can believe in" is only a cute saying to fool the gullible into believing this, a real heart change by our citizens as we look past the economics and towards things that are eternal may be the firm foundation upon which to move forward as a responsible nation. This is the change i believe in.
