What is happening now is a direct result of misinformed, uneducated voters mostly caused by the liberal media not reporting the whole story. Elections have consequences and now we are seeing the results. Liberals want to make this Cap and Trade (TAX) out to be about reducing dependency on foreign oil and creating “green jobs”. In actuality, it will result in increased dependency on foreign oil and cause dramatic job cuts in energy sectors. Many companies will be forced to ship operations to other countries to avoid these taxes. We need to let our elected officials know if they vote on this bill, we will make sure they are gone from office in the next election cycle. As far as coal fired power plants, it is the most cost effective means of producing energy. Natural Gas fired power plants exist and are very efficient, but the fluctuation of NG prices is a big drawback. If they wanted to decrease our dependency on foreign energy sources, lets invest in exploration here in the US, invest in Natural Gas technologies, and start up more Nuclear power plants. This administration only has one thing in mind, total government takeover.
