President Obama is actively working with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to appease the radical environmentalists by imposing a "cap and trade" scheme to combat supposedly man-made climate change. But this effort to curb carbon-based emissions would not only be ineffective, it would cost all of us dearly every time we flip on a light switch or fill up our gas tank. TAKE ACTION!
As the President admitted to the San Francisco Chronicle, "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." Well, at least he was being upfront about the costs, unlike former Vice President Al Gore, who refused to answer questions about the total costs of implementing a cap and trade program. But Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) rightly pointed out recently, "cap and trade is a tax, and it's a great big one." Estimates are that this national energy tax would cost the average American family $3900 per year!
