'Global Warming' Scam Still Forging Ahead: Minnesota Tells North Dakota "Drop Coal"

Green Scam Going To Next Phase

[excerpts]

It's round one in the 2010 fight against global warming and Minnesota has landed the first punch against coal-fired electricity that crosses its borders. The state is seeking to place a tariff on carbon dioxide turned out by coal plants in North Dakota.

Minnesota is hoping to pressure its neighbor to the west to drop coal and embrace renewable energy sources. North Dakota has ample wind energy potential and has even been called the "Saudi Arabia of Wind."

Minnesota's proposed law is not exactly a tax on carbon, but the effects are essentially the same and North Dakota officials are none too happy with the prospect. Coal energy is one of the largest industry bases in the state.

Minnesota is set to handle legal tussles and has allocated $500,000 to fund any forthcoming court proceedings. North Dakota is now in the process of suing Minnesota over the tariff, arguing that the fee would "discourage coal-powered electricity sales in favor of renewably powered electricity."

While this is exactly what Minnesota is attempting to do, North Dakota might have a good case against the so-called tariff, which would end up being paid for by Minnesota utility payers.

According to Article 1, Section 10 of the United States Constitution, "No State shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing its inspection laws ..." If such an argument holds up, the carbon tariff could be deemed unconstitutional if not accepted by Congress.

re: 'drop coal...embrace renewable'

This is noteworthy as it represents another 'first of a kind' in the ever encroaching 'Green Deception to take over the planet' scam. It is said that Minnesota wants North Dakota to "drop coal and embrace renewable energy sources" - "wind energy potential" in this instance.

Bingo. Out with the old - coal, in with the new - wind.

There it is plain and simple, the entire 'climate change/global warming' illusion in a proverbial nut shell - a grand scheme to make way for the deconstruction of western industrialized society.

Out with the old - our "destructive western lifestyles" [see: unsustainable], in with the new - a "sustainable" eco-friendly community-based global management plan - which is just gobbley-gook global speak for what in essence are to be global slave-plantation camps for the 'useless eaters' of the world, ruled by self-appointed would be god-men. Believe it or not.

Copenhagen came and went. It will soon be forgotten. Meanwhile, the next phase of the great 'Green Deception' is quietly forging ahead in Minnesota.
