Jon Huntsman Jr. saw a bright future for Westerners when, shortly after signing up his state for a regional cap-and-trade program four years ago, he touted what they had to gain from tackling climate pollution.

"If we do this right," said Huntsman, who would win a second term as Utah’s governor the following year, "our citizens are going to have a better quality of life, we’re going to spawn new technologies and industries, and we’re going to leave our most important belongings in better shape for the next generation."

Cap & Trade, mormon, *and* he worked for Obama?? sweet. He's pretty much dead in the water.
