I have to say I really don't give a shit if Cap and trade will kill the rural economy more reason for people to move to portland.

@BetweenKittensandRiots I'm just saying that I do Cause I enjoy not dying of starvation. I'm not arguing that they can't use other power sources. (Though the ones you referenced are used by only those rich enough to afford them.) I'm just saying that if the rural economy dies, we're all gonna be giving a shit. That's all.

@YoJisda1 Honestly if businesses move out of state it will cause more land to be available to those of us willing to put up with the regulations. My family really ideally wants to buy an Acre somewhere near by to grow pot for instance. It will drive down land cost for the rest of us and as far as Food we can always import from elsewhere as we already largely do.
