In Alternate Energy Plan, GOP Calls for 100 New Nuclear Plants in 20 years - Political News - FOXNews.com

Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, was a little more blunt.

"They like to call it ACES but I call it C.R.A.P. -- continue ruining America's prosperity," he said.
Unlike the Democratic bill which sets a goal of cutting carbon emissions by 83 percent by 2050, House Republicans argue that a targeted CO2 cut is unnecessary, unrealistic and too costly, and that the constraints on manufacturers will drive them overseas where they face limited pollution constraints.

House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, ridiculed the Democratic proposal as "lunacy."

"They have the idea that they and that the government can control how much carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere," he said. "At the end of the day we are going to do more for the environment with this all-of-the-above approach than they are with their cap and trade."

Barton added the impact of the Democratic proposal will be catastrophic for industry but negligible on the environment.

"Is it worth it to you to have the trillions and trillions of dollars and millions of jobs lost so that at best, 40 years from the average world temperature, whatever that number means, is two degrees Celsius less than it would be otherwise?," he asked, citing an EPA analysis of the Democratic bill. "I think the answer to that question is no."

We are being manipulated into accepting a global carbon tax propagated by dubious science.

Think about it! A tax on ever aspect of your life because without carbon NOTHING exists.
