Cap and Trade Tax:
A Good Idea?

Just over a week ago, right before leaving for the Independence Day recess, the Democrat-led U.S. House of Representatives passed the Waxman-Markey ‘cap-and-trade’ energy tax by a narrow 219-212 vote. Despite some strong arm-twisting, 44 Democrats voted against this bill because they saw through this not-so-hidden tax scheme on every American in the form of higher utility bills and higher prices of goods and services.

I am working in the Senate to stop this version of the bill before it puts our nation’s businesses at a competitive disadvantage in the global economy and imposes higher utility bills and increased costs to Americans on everyday goods and services.

Please share with me your thoughts and let me know if you agree with my approach?

I too am against the Cap-and-Trade Tax. I believe, instead, that we must develop all of our domestic sources of energy, including nuclear, biomass, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and both inland and offshore exploration of oil and natural gas.

No, I support a massive Energy Tax that puts American consumers and companies at a competitive disadvantage globally.
