A Preview of the Carbon Tax

Al Gore's Speech is up above.

I've started helping my wife with the number crunching and writing (grammar correction and suggestions on organization). The number crunching is ... interesting. I'll give in to the temptation to post something about it and say that natural gas usage at home will take a huge hit, but for electricity generation it might be less of one. If you're in the coal industry and Gore runs for president (and gets it) or someone embraces his idea, I'd find some other industry to be in. May I suggest nuclear power?

Anyways, any further conclusions - and numbers - will have to wait until her paper is back and graded. The whole thing is going to be incredibly fascinating to think through.
