Senate Cap & Trade Proposal Will Cost Americans Jobs |

“Instead of improving the House’s flawed cap-and-trade proposal to tax energy, the Senate bill would create even higher energy bills and greater job losses. Senate Democrats have received angry feedback from Americans with their ideologically based proposals for healthcare. The far-left special interest agenda on energy, will create even more outrage as Democrats move to out-source American jobs to countries like The Senate bill, compared to its House counterpart, requires sharper emissions reductions in the near term (20% by 2020 as opposed to a 17% reduction required in the House bill) and fails to block EPA from creating a duplicative and costly regulatory scheme under the Clean Air Act that even the Administration acknowledges will harm American businesses. By sending jobs and manufacturing abroad to countries that do not regulate emissions, cap-and-trade has the potential to actually harm the environment by increasing global emissions. |
