San Fran Nan, rushed the over 1200 page
Crap & Tax bill, Cap & Trade bill through, even though Harry Reid has already stated he won't "touch it" until the fall session. (I know he can and does lie, and the fall session is right around the corner)
Any figure about only $170 something bucks is year is BS.
It will effect everything you buy. The retooling by industry, will force (guess who)? to absprb the cost.
Plus, look around the world, more and more countries are suspending their version of this crap, because its based on junk science and Algore.

Among the many reasons President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority are so intent on quickly jamming a cap-and-trade system through Congress is because the global warming tide is again shifting. It turns out Al Gore and the United Nations (with an assist from the media), did a little too vociferous a job smearing anyone who disagreed with them as “deniers.” The backlash has brought the scientific debate roaring back to life in Australia, Europe, Japan and even, if less reported, the U.S.
In April, the Polish Academy of Sciences published a document challenging man-made global warming. In the Czech Republic, where President Vaclav Klaus remains a leading skeptic, today only 11% of the population believes humans play a role. In France, President Nicolas Sarkozy wants to tap Claude Allegre to lead the country’s new ministry of industry and innovation. Twenty years ago Mr. Allegre was among the first to trill about man-made global warming, but the geochemist has since recanted. New Zealand last year elected a new government, which immediately suspended the country’s weeks-old cap-and-trade program.
The number of skeptics, far from shrinking, is swelling. Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe now counts more than 700 scientists who disagree with the U.N. — 13 times the number who authored the U.N.’s 2007 climate summary for policymakers. Joanne Simpson, the world’s first woman to receive a Ph.D. in meteorology, expressed relief upon her retirement last year that she was finally free to speak “frankly” of her nonbelief. Dr. Kiminori Itoh, a Japanese environmental physical chemist who contributed to a U.N. climate report, dubs man-made warming “the worst scientific scandal in history.” Norway’s Ivar Giaever, Nobel Prize winner for physics, decries it as the “new religion.” A group of 54 noted physicists, led by Princeton’s Will Happer, is demanding the American Physical Society revise its position that the science is settled. (Both Nature and Science magazines have refused to run the physicists’ open letter.)

BUT it doesn't matter, as long as power is to be had, and money is to be made with "carbon credits?" >:(
This is a big SCAM! And we will pay for it.

Once again, the Dems produced a report 6-8 years ago that indicated there was $12-15 Billion in new reviews to be had - and controlled. That report disappeared almost as quickly as it appeared.
I would imagine this was one of their key points.

Not hard for the dems to get something through the house right now

It will be interesting to see how many republicans vote for this bill.

Not surprised but pleased to see our whopping 1 rep from ND (a D but gets an A from the NRA) voted against said obamanation.
Now let's get hold of our Senators and kill this POS.
