[i]President Obama's "science" czar, John Holdren, was co-author of a 2004 energy policy paper that recommended "cap and trade" legislation, including "clean coal" technology and $2 billion from the federal budget for construction of one or two new nuclear facilities. WND has learned a co-author of the paper with Holdren is John Rowe, a financial bundler for President Obama's 2008 campaign who serves as chairman of Exelon, the mega-utility owning 30 percent of all U.S. nuclear plants. Rowe, who has financial ties to several members of the Obama administration, last month boasted how his company stands to gain financially from the regulation of high-carbon emitting plants – the very recommendations Rowe set forth in his paper with Holdren. [/i] Everybody but the citizens will get rich off of this crap. What do you think? I really do not see how taxes will help the environment.... God/Mother Nature doesnt care about money. here is the story http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=127742

Yes, it's a conflict of interest. Unfortunately, it goes on all the time. And Exelon won't be the only company to gain. GE will be a major winner, and who sits next to Obama on his economic committee?
