Hello,
	There is a new post on The Volokh Conspiracy.  You can read it at:

It begins:

	So what ended up in the Waxman-Markey cliamte bill?
	Kevin Williamson and Stephen Spruiell look under
	the hood of this climate policy vehicle. The
	cap-and-trade legislation sparked a
	special-interest feeding frenzy -- and this is
	precisely what we should have expected. As I've
	argued before, a cap-and-trade regime for
	greenhouse gases is more vulnerable to rent-seeking
	than a tax-based alternative. There's no way to
	prove that a carbon tax bill would have been less
	pork-laden than Waxman-Markey, but it could not
	have been any worse....
