Indianapolis - The Indiana Manufacturers Association announced today strong concerns with climate change legislation under consideration in Washington D.C. The United States Senate is poised to take up discussions on the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, authored by Congressmen Waxman of California and Markey of Massachusetts.
The concern is based on a report issued last week by the National Association of Manufacturers predicting significant increases in the cost of energy and a general decline of economic conditions under the act. The report reveals that Indiana could be impacted as follows:
* Employment losses of up to 59,260 jobs
* Residential electricity price increases of up to 60 percent
* Gasoline price increases (per gallon) of up to 26 percent

Same here in Florida
Climate Change Legislation Would Harm EVERY SINGLE HARDWORKING AMERICAN.
Fixed it.
However, Indiana is more susceptible to this legislation than many states because it currently gets 90%+ of its electricity from coal, and produces much of the same coal it uses.
