Thanks to all for entering JunkScience.com’s re-branding contest for cap-and-trade.
Because of the difficulty in choosing the best entry among the hundreds of entries received — the winner gets an autographed copy of Steve Milloy’s new book Green Hell — we narrowed down the field to the five in the poll below. Please vote once for your favorite. Results will be announced Tuesday, May 19.
Honorable mentions go to the following entries that more than adequately describe the nature of cap-and-trade:
- Energy tithing
- Waxman Malarkey
- The Great Leap Forward
- Energy Option 19/22 (i.e., 19th century energy options at 22nd century prices)
- Carbon Concentration Control Program, or “CCCP” for afficianados of the old USSR
- Tree and Economic Starvation Act
Awww, c’mon – my entry was better than any of these! (the “Sweat-And-Freeze” Tax.)
How about “American Gosplan” ?
Here truly lies the realm of Hitler this is the same way he got started and a man will come who is strong and can lie through his teeth and get the populace behind him and then all h– will break loose .
