Diplomats at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Conference in Rio de Janeiro next week will consider proposals that would levy taxes on American families and energy industries in order to support international efforts to combat global warming, according to a draft agenda for the conference.
“We recognize that subsidies for non-renewable energy development should be eliminated and replaced with a global tax on the production of energy from non-renewable energy sources,” the UN draft agenda, amended by non-governmental organizations at the invitation of the UN, says. “The income of this tax should be allocated to renewable energy development.” The draft agenda was obtained by the Center for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), a group skeptical of the UN’s position on global warming.
President Obama has adopted similar policy positions in his discussions of energy and tax policy over recent months. “I am writing to urge you to take immediate action to eliminate unwarranted tax breaks for the oil and gas industry, and to use those dollars to invest in clean energy to reduce our dependence on foreign oil,” Obama said in an April 26 letter to top-ranking members of the House and Senate.
It’s time Turtle Bay was put to the bulldozer and turned into a skateboard park while all the denizens currently lurking there are sent packing to Europe with a caution not to show their faces again.
They’ve been working for a couple decades now to rip even more money out of the US for their one-world government agenda. The beast needs to be starved to death, not fed red meat.
I’m with Chuck. Skateboard park or nuke plant, anyway.
Chuck, how about turning it into a coal fired power station
Perhaps we should start a contest for best replacement for the Useless Numbnuts complex at Turtle Bay.
