It makes no sense for the government to create a burden on consumers and then come back with a program to alleviate that burden for some of the people.
Government is already costing us too much when it comes to paying taxes and regulations. Increasing costs for the sake of making power more expensive just doesn't make sense.
Being green is already expensive. We don't need the costs raised artificially by yet another government enforced scam.

Herseth Sandlin: Climate-change bill is a mistake for S.D.

A climate-change bill heading for a showdown on the House floor won’t have the support of Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin because “it simply doesn’t do right by South Dakota.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called for the South Dakota Democrat and her colleagues on the Agriculture Committee to report out a bill by the end of next week. It could be moved to the floor shortly thereafter.

“I think that would be a mistake,” Herseth Sandlin said in a conference call with reporters on Thursday. “What we need now is time, time to work through the objections and concerns that I and many of my colleagues from rural areas, from agricultural areas, have with the bill.”
