Want a reason to oppose "Cap and Trade"? Here's fifty!

National Review Online has provided a public service by posting fifty reasons to oppose the "Cap and Trade" bill (i.e., energy tax bill).
Here are some of my favorite reasons for hating this bill:
- #22 - Your showerhead and faucet will now be federally regulated
- #24 - The EPA is coming up with environmental standards for YOUR home. Want to sell it? Better make sure it's in compliance!
- #25 - Own a business property? You'll need to reduce energy use by half by 2018. I guess you could just turn out all the lights and crank the air up to 76 degrees. Think your tenants will mind?
- #28 - For that same business, you will also have to start keeping track of your emissions.
- #44 - An energy based welfare check, yes, you read that right.
Remember, the reason for passing this bill is global warming. Is that still going on?
