Murdach, who owns both the WSJ and the Fox News Network, holds himself out to be a champion of capitalism.

He is a thick headed Captain of Commerce who is only interested in the short term gain, damn the consequences or morality.

This is not only evident in energy policy but health policy as well.

However, I digress. His presses are energy eaters. One wonders if he were educated on the amount of savings he could gain by managing his energy use and earning carbon credits if his position would change.

You really should not be surprised that WSJ focuses on the near-term impacts and ignores the far more important sustained long-term benefits of cap-and-trade. Conservatoives a incredibly nearsighted.

As @treehugger noted on 8.14.09, "the knowledge that the world's major pioneering cap and trade is working effectively, US policymakers should now be able to take lessons learned from the turbulent inception of the ETS into account as they continue the long slog towards passing a bill that would create such a system stateside."

Conservative media outlets will continue to distort for sake of their own immediate bottom line, but those of us striving for sustainable living, know that green initiatives are about the future
