Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Barack Obama both lied about the Federal Government would receive HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of more in taxes from ALL Americans including average working Americans at all pay levels. These Cap and Trade Taxes would amount to a 15% increase in taxes for ALL Americans.

The Treasury Department provided a report providing the information on the MASSIVE TAX INCREASE, for Cap and Trade, on March 9th 2009 to Congress and President Obama. Regardless of receipt of the report they both LIED directly to the American public about the cost of this proposal in Congress. Waxman stated that it would only cost about 40 cents per day. Obama stated that it would only cost “about the same as a postage stamp per day”.

Numerous studies have documented how the grossly misnamed Affordable Energy Act of 2009, also known as Cap and Trade or more accurately Cap and Tax, will raise the cost of energy for every American. If the cost of all energy rises dramatically, will industrial production stay in this country or will it move to China or India that is not constrained by the cost of energy regulations? China and India already enjoy a significant cost advantage over American producers in many fields; this will just exacerbate that advantage.

House Democrats narrowly won a key test vote Friday on sweeping legislation to combat global warming and usher in a new era of cleaner energy. Republicans said the bill included “the largest tax increase in American history.”

The U.S. House of Representatives may vote this Friday on the “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009” (the Waxman-Markey bill). We need the many voices of the Partnership for America’s Energy Security to write and call your legislators, urging them to oppose this harmful and misguided legislation.

Addressing climate change is an important issue, and the U.S. oil and natural gas industry has made substantial commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The industry supports balanced legislation to reduce greenhouse gases and replace the patchwork of state and federal regulatory programs, but the Waxman-Markey bill is not the answer. This hastily drafted legislation would:

Significantly increase consumer and business costs for gasoline and other fuels;

But wind power, even offshore wind power, isn’t the same as coal or nuclear. Offshore wind farms in Europe are lucky to generate 40% of their listed capacity. So that limits that mid-Atlantic resource to about 74 gigawatts. And that doesn’t even consider the technical and economic hurdles that still dog offshore wind power and make it less competitive than its onshore cousin.

Sebelius, the Health and Human Services Director appointee, is a big advocate of Socialist universal healthcare. A few weeks ago the U.S. Congress passed a new SCHIP bill. The bill, which few people knew, took away the existing requirement to make sure that a State check to make sure that a person is legally present in the United Statesbefore agreeing to use taxpayer money to pay for these services. Enter Kathleen Sebelius, who favors giving away in State tuition to Illegal Aliens and favors drivers licenses to Illegal Aliens. She is the LAST person we want interpreting the this new law and issuing regulations, because she will certainly ensure that States can’t check for legal status anymore.

Over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and former Vice President Al Gore. This new 231-page U.S. Senate Minority Report — updated from 2007’s groundbreaking report of over 400 scientists who voiced skepticism about the so-called global warming “consensus” — features the skeptical voices of over 650 prominent international scientists, including many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN IPCC. This updated report includes an additional 250 (and growing) scientists and climate researchers since the initial release in December 2007. The over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.

America needs more and better sources of energy. That’s not up for discussion. But what a firestorm has erupted over what those sources should be!

Despite public opinion (e.g. with prices down, support for offshore drilling remains high—at 68%), America’s energy solutions continue to be dictated and repressed by Hard Left environmentalist groups—and they are increasingly turning to the courts to enforce their liberal, anti-energy agenda.
