And it's all based off of faulty science....that man is the sole cause of Global Warming, something that isn't happening right now anyway. The Planet is in a cooling cycle now. It all has to do with the Sun not Carbon Dioxide. This all is just a way to steal money from us so he can give it to his buddies.

Obama claimed it would amount to an increase in prices equal to the cost of a postage stamp. When has Obama ever been honest when it comes to spending, tax increases, or what his Stimulus Bill is doing? He's intentionally trying to raise the price of energy in this country so it will curb our usage by cutting off our oil and coal sources, and at the same time he fails to offer any viable alternatives. His economic and energy policies are based on Pie in the Sky theories not on anything substantial. This policy will kill jobs. By making it more expensive to do business in America it will force more and more businesses to move their operations elsewhere.

The only alternative is Nuclear but of course Obama's special interest groups wouldn't have that. So while Europe has gone nuke we won't have any choices...but to pay through the ass for whatever energy the Democrats decide is clean and green enough for us to use. Total insanity.

Soon they'll be putting in regulations that mandate computor controlled thermostats in all of our homes telling the government what we set our home's temp to. Then they'll be charging us for any usage over the government mandated maximum.
