Climate Bill Would Cost Us Billions

Kudos to EnergyCitizens.org for continuing its aggressive campaign against the climate change bill. The latest effort is a full-page ad pointing to a recent study that says the House-passed climate bill could lead to $4 per gallon gasoline!

In addition, it will also cause higher electricity prices as utilities will have to pay for carbon credits -- costs which they will pass along to their customers. Remember this fundamental truth: businesses do not pay anything out of their own pockets; all their costs are passed along to their customers!

But don't take my word for it. Europe has had a cap-and-trade program in effect for several years and, according to the New York Times, it's done nothing but cost companies money.

The greater point, which I've posted many times, is that all this posturing is because of a scientifically tenuous theory (and let's be quite clear: IT'S ONLY A THEORY) which governments have co-opted into a "protection" racket that makes criminal protection rackets pale by comparison.

Think of it like this: if a government first makes you believe you're threatened by of something, then tells you it can keep you safe from that threat if you pay it, that's "protection". Governments around the world have seized on the "threat" of climate change as a way to raise taxes without admitting they're raising taxes.

Please, for your sake and the sake of future generations, listen to the growing body of scientists without a political agenda who say this theory is nonsense. Hear what they have to say before swallowing the political theory without question.
