Listen to your reply!

There is no blame being placed anywhere. The point is to put a good plan in place to fix the GW issue. If AA's (and others) are willing to PAY more money to fund the effort, where is this "ploy" for $$.

"The Commission will work with African Americans and others to understand the impacts that climate change will have on their communities, and work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensure that energy policies are fair to all Americans. "

You seem to not like "poor black man living in the ghetto".

Do you even know any of the members of the commission? Their track records?

You are really talking out of your ass sir.
