The President, during his address to congress, called for a bill creating caps on carbon emissions and taxing carbon based energy to make renewable energy more cost effective. This means coal, oil and natural gas based electricity will probably go up 25 to 100 percent. This is all in the name of junk science being perpetrated by people like Al Gore who know nothing about science. If you think carbon dioxide is a pollutant, ask your local farmer why the leaves of their plants are green. When you can no longer afford to heat and cool your home, blame Representative Teague and Senators Udall and Bingaman. Every time you get that utility bill or fill up your car, remember who you elected representatives are because they will be the ones to blame.
