- Effective measurement, reporting and verification of emissions performance by business;
- Incentives for a dramatic increase in financing low emissions technologies;
- Deployment of existing low-emissions technologies and the development of new ones;
- Funds to make communities more resilient and able to adapt to the effects of climate change, and
- Means to finance forest protection.

But did anyone attend Heartland's conference today in your area?
I was very tempted to show up, but apparently they were charging admission if you weren't affiliated with Congress.
Oh, good news, signers of the Orgone Petition got 30 bucks knocked off the fee:
Please note we will confirm that you have legitimately signed the petition, and we reserve the right to reject discounted registrations from persons who have not signed. Partial refunds will not be made to people who sign the petition after they've registered.
Actually, that's the Oregon Petition, run by OISM, not Orgone.
The latter is the province of Dr James DeMeo (familiar to you from CATO ad), who has spent his long "professional career" researching Reich's orgone energy. DeMeo runs the Orgone Biophysical Research Laboratory, which does happen to be located in Oregon. That was good enough to get him on CATO's list.
