Senators Say They’ll Fight Cap-and-Trade Legislation
By Dustin Bleizeffer/Casper Star-Tribune
CASPER - The cap-and-trade legislation before Congress can achieve a 17 percent carbon reduction for a cost of about $83 per household per year, according to recent analysis by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
However, congressional leaders from carbon-intensive states such as Wyoming remain adamantly opposed to the Waxman-Markey bill, insisting that the real costs of curbing greenhouse gas emissions would further bankrupt the nation.
“There’s nothing good about it,” said U.S. Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. “I’m going to do everything to make sure it doesn’t pass.” U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., said the bill is “the biggest hidden tax in America. It’s a Ponzi scheme because we’re just going to print certificates for CO2 and not take care of any CO2,”
Enzi and Barrasso spoke at the Petroleum Association of Wyoming’s annual meeting in Casper on Wednesday. The senators focused on health care and energy legislation before Congress.
