Billionaires are so "yesterday." As I work on becoming a trillionaire, this idea of profiting off of "carbon credits" is looking more appealing as time goes on. The devil is in the details. The whole key to making it work is to get the government to give contracts to a company like mine to evaluate new projects to see if they qualify for carbon credits. Our lobbyists are busy buying the necessary politicians to make sure that Uranus Corporation becomes a leader in this exciting business.
And I'm happy to announce that we've got our first green project all ready to roll. I know you've all heard of wind power. The big problem is that it's not always windy, and often the wind is blowing in some place far away from where the power is needed. For example, the Aleutian Islands in Alaska is one of the windiest places in the world, but it's too far from civilization to be of much use.
Thus, our latest proposal - big electric fans to drive the windmills. Using this system, your family could set up a windmill in the basement, and electric fans would supply the necessary wind. Thus you would be able to generate all the power you need, 24 hours per day. And my company would get carbon credits for installing this in your home, which we could then sell to our "clean coal" generating power plant which would supply the necessary power for your electric fans! It's a win-win situation for everybody!
Clean coal
And we won't stop here. Solar energy is another exciting new green technology that we plan to milk for every dollar the government doles out. We are currently developing a new system in which you install solar panels in your basement, which are powered by 1000-watt floodlights which allow you to generate solar energy even at night!
And all this would be subsidized by the Federal Reserve, which would get the money by selling freshly-printed Treasury bills paying 10% interest to our commercial banks (which would borrow the money from the US government at 0% interest to buy the Treasury bills).
As you can see, "cap and trade" is a thing of beauty as long as you follow the Golden Rule: "The one who has the gold makes the rules."

Yes, this is true Godly Christian capitalism, not like that Islamic socialism practiced by the foreign-born Barack Osama Obama. Di you see what he did to the banks recently, cutting out their share of student loan money? Now we will see more Pell grants to Nig...colored persons who will spend it on drugs and tuition at liberal colleges.
