Carbon Taxes Versus Carbon Markets: Whats the best way to...
Rated • 1 review • economics, environment, global warming • reason.com
From the page: ".. Although there remain serious un-
certainties about the magnitude of the human role in
climate change, there is a growing consensus that emis-
sions need to be reduced.
The battle now is over how. The two leading approaches
are carbon markets and carbon taxes. Surprisingly, a
great many free marketeers favor higher taxes on car-
bon-emitting fossil fuels over a cap-and-trade carbon
market, including former Federal Reserve chairmen Paul
Volcker and Alan Greenspan, former chairman of Pres-
ident Bush's Council of Economic Advisers Gregory
Mankiw, and former Duke Energy CEO Paul Anderson. A
Wall Street Journal Survey in February 2007 found that
54 percent of economists favor a carbon tax over all
other approaches..."

Why This Scandal Matters - New York Times
Rated • 1 review • politics • nytimes.com
Editorial: Why This Scandal Matters
Website: The New York Times
Published: May 21, 2007
From the page: "The Justice Department is no ordinary
agency. Its 93 United States attorney offices, scat-
tered across the country, prosecute federal crimes
ranging from public corruption to terrorism. These
prosecutors have enormous power: they can wiretap
people's homes, seize property and put people in jail
for life. They can destroy businesses, and affect the
outcomes of elections. It has always been understood
that although they are appointed by a president, usual-
ly from his own party, once in office they must operate
in a nonpartisan way, and be insulated from outside
pressures.
This understanding has badly broken down. It is now
clear that United States attorneys were pressured to
act in the interests of the Republican Party, and lost
their job if they failed to do so. The firing offenses
of the nine prosecutors who were purged last year were
that they would not indict Democrats, they investi-
gated important Republicans, or they would not try
to suppress the votes of Democratic-leaning groups
with baseless election fraud cases.
The degree of partisanship in the department is shock-
ing. A study by two professors, Donald Shields of the
University of Missouri at St. Louis and John Cragan of
Illinois State University, found that the Bush Justice
Department has investigated Democratic officeholders
and office seekers about four times as often as Repub-
lican ones.
It is hard not to see the fingerprints of Karl Rove. A
disproportionate number of the prosecutors pushed out,
or considered for dismissal, were in swing states. The
main reason for the purge -- apart from hobbling a
California investigation that has already put one Re-
publican congressman in jail -- appears to have been
an attempt to tip states like Missouri and Washington
to Republican candidates for House, Senate, governor
and president."
