New Jersey is considering a bill to tax fossil fuel processors extra to create a "Climate Change Superfund."

Corporate Raiders

Only one answer to that, shut it all down. Leave town. Make it all go away. Watch what happens when the pigs start to starve.

Yes, if the corporation has deprived itself of the means to make them.

This is all you need to know.

"The proposal would impose as yet unspecified charges on fossil fuel producers that would go to the state Department of Environmental Protection, which would distribute the money as grants to pay for programs to adapt to climate change and make the state more resilient to severe weather."

It's a slush fund to pay off favored donors.

Nothing in the quoted text supports that conclusion.

The location of this story in New Jersey does, of course.

I have trouble believing that they will consider it for any length of time in light of the apparent popular paradigm phase-shift in the population's perspective (pocketbook prospectus).

BTW, states are never "corporate raiders." Only corporations are corporate raiders.

Every year I have replaced a fossil fuel burning product. My goal is all gone within the next 10 years. I pay extra for renewable energy as my electrical supply.
