For a dollar, I will capture a fart, and burn it. Since methane burns cleanly, this will prevent raw methane from entering the atmosphere and thus enhance life on earth. I hope AlToad doesn't read this site, because his gaseous output exceeds even mine by leaps and bounds. For your carbon credit, send a check or money order to proreason, mark of the beast lane, death valley, CA I’m giving into the carbon credit mania.

Four employees, some phones and a PO box. I envision something like "Glengary Glenross." Europe's number one export is now carbon credits.

Why isn't there greater regulation? I suppose the German government should step in, buy all these up at cheap prices and hold them until they can possibly sell them at a profit for the German taxpayer. Who I really feel bad for is all the companies that aggressively went green, and they're now holding dirt cheap carbon credits that they were counting on being able to sell at exorbitant profits. They tried to please their lords and masters but it backfired. Completely off-topic. There is absolutely no possibility that the implementation and enforcement of this carbon credit scheme that has the possibility to turn a profitable company into an unprofitable company overnight, as well as plunge the power industry into bankruptcy, and then leave half the country without power and facing possible mass starvation, death and chaos as little green pissants try to charge half a million dollars for a carbon credit, or buy up the credits as private citizens and hold them with no intention of ever selling. This scheme that has the potential to literally destroy civilization on the sake of a little environmentalism can't possibly have inspired any of the instability of the markets that is wreaking havoc on the economy right now, could it have? No? Well I'm glad that's not it. Yet another failure of the free market. Why isn’t there greater regulation?

Ask and Bid to be based soley on free market standards. Plenty of supply, plenty of demand. $10 is par value. Currently, Obama is at .09 cents, luckily I have been naked shorting, in that billionaire way. Good thing I shorted 1,000,000 shares. I am set.
