Cap 'n trade is like communism. great idea on paper, but in a flawed world with humans (where greed, power, and cheating are inevitable and inescapable) it just plain doesn't work. Too many loopholes that will be exposed in almost no time at all. It's sad to think that we as a human race can't stop ourselves from these destructive things, but history shows again and again that someone will cut corners and cheat to get an advantage...it's time for government to stand firm on this point!

That's where government can make a big difference, but, as you indicate, there is not much to rely on there.

It's the simplest and most direct approach. We’ve always relied on the “cap” approach to pollution, so I’m also baffled as to why that’s not considered an option with CO2.

Just imagine if we had set out on such a course after the first oil embargo. The world would be a much different place - cleaner and safer - but the profit motive is too strong. It is a sad reflection on humanity. Your reference to the Manhattan Project is astute. Just imagine if we had set out on such a course after the first oil embargo.
