Cap and Trade

[Catfish Bob]

If this cap and trade is passed, (and they start taxing us on our carbon output from our vehicles and making strict a$$ standards for pollution etc) What is that going to mean for the outboard motor? Will the GREEN NAZI'S try to ban outboard motors on freshwater? What type of device will be used to measure our vehicles output?
I assume it'll be like the meter on a house.


I'm very worried about this issue because I have two old camaros with carburetor ed, built motors, and probably put out 200x more carbon than a new honda does. The motor on my jon boat is old as dirt and smokes a bit more than it should, but runs great.

Does anyone remember the VET? How well did it work out for us. All I can remember is the air getting worse and the guy that owned it bough his second Ferrari. Maybe it is me but there has to be a better way. How about we worry about new vehicles and what not and put the money to developing new energy sources.

Hey Ryan that VET stuff was the biggest joke and waste of time known to man, lol. Even people from the EPA said it was a farse.

How much carbon does Air Force One put off??? The engine on that thing hasn't got cool since Bama took office.
