I knew that the energy bills under consideration in Congress were bad -- that they created no new energy and restricted production -- but I was not aware that the House bill specifically authorizes Americans 'harmed' by global warming to sue the US government for it.
Better still -- it specifically allows them to recover attorneys' fees -- win or lose.
This plays into the worst impression of old-style liberal Democrat wackos from the 1970s -- environmental extremists in the pocket of the trial lobby.
