PART 1-Cap and Trade Blog Series
Democrats in Congress joined with the Obama administration are proceeding along parallel tracks to impose CO2 regulations so sweeping as to become the most expensive and expansive environmental reach of government into the lives of American families businesses and consumers in history.
In May the House
Energy and Commerce Committee approved the Waxman-Markey cap and trade bill that is designed to drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions blamed for global warming. The full House could complete action on the bill within the next two weeks.
This week Texas and other states will submit comments to the Environmental Protection Agency (
EPA) on its preliminary endangerment finding" that greenhouse gas emissions pose a threat to public heath and contribute to climate change.
The prospect for cap and trade is less certain in the Senate and the EPA while poised to finalize its landmark finding has not done so yet. If enough Americans band together we can still protect the American economy jobs and incomes from undue and unnecessary CO2 regulations.
Over the next several days come back and join this blog series that will cover:
• Waiting to exhale: the EPA endangerment finding
• Cap and trade 101
• All cap and trade programs are not created equal
• The disproportionate adverse impact CO2 cap and trade will have on Texas
• Its worthless without China
• How you can help!
