I know very little about this but see a lot of posts on my Facebook timeline about how bad it could be. This small article states that the whole idea is stalling.
Any views?

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


Geezer started another thread on the topic a couple of weeks ago. My view is "I'm agin' it!" and so my only response is...

Apparently it's gonna be a tough sell for Pres. Obama, since Congressional Democrats are listening to unions that fear losing jobs and environmentalists that fear increased pollution. What with mid-term elections coming up in November and the problems the Democrats are already having, they won't want to upset their base any more.
