The same thing happened to me with Rush Limbaugh the other day after the House passed the Climate bill the other day. This from his website:

"RUSH: Let's see. Yeah, here's another one. Get this. What is this from? It's the Cleveland Plain Dealer. It's their website, Cleveland.com. Here's the headline: "Tree Owners Could Reap Climate Bill Windfall -- For years, landowners have gotten paid for not farming. Now they may get paid for not cutting down trees. While US families could see their annual energy bills rise hundreds of dollars under a massive climate bill that President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats are trying to push through the House, owners of large swaths of forestland -- timber companies, large farms, even foreign countries -- could reap billions of dollars."

I wonder what affect this is going to have on private landowners who have marketable trees?
