The drilling and nuclear energy are sops to Republicans specifically to get them onboard with a cap and trade bill. It’s cover for twits like Grahmnesty so they can say they got something for their vote to further destroy what’s left of our industrial base.
That would be so sickening I can only believe it when I see it. I am glad people are speaking out against it and we need to keep hammering these RINOs. I will never forget how I felt the day health care was pushed through the House, but I can imagine it still won’t be as bad as if Cap and Trade pass.
With our energy intensive industries, Texas is going to be the most effected State if electricity rates “necessarily rise” like Obama calls for.
I have heard a plan to counter it though, if you want Texas energy we will tax it even more!
