Losing to Cap & Trade is not an option

Frustrated citizens packed both Clinton and Somerville seminars to hear Americans for Prosperity’s (AFP) Senior Policy Analyst Steve Lonegan discuss the impacts the American Clean Energy and Security Act (Energy Tax) would have on our Country.  The Clinton location was overflowing into the hallways and a much larger room was ordered as a result of the large crowd of 350.

Cap and Trade is a component of the American Clean Energy Act.  The Act is a response from those who consider a greenhouse gas environmental crisis caused by humans.  Cap and Trade would place a cap on energy emissions and if less than the capped amount is used the credits can be sold to other energy producers.  Government job creation will be enormous to monitor and regulate all the regulations.  There will be job loss in the private sector as business will not be able to function at a profit with the rise in both the direct energy costs, and from indirect costs passed down such as transportation.

NJ Senate Candidate Mike Doherty joined as co-speaker at the Clinton seminar.  He was the first elected official in America to sign an opposition pledge to the Global Warming movement.   Doherty emphasized that, “Science is the pursuit of truth.  The debate is never over in science.”  This was in response to the statements by Climate Change supporters who claim that, “The debate is over.  The science has been agreed upon”.

One just needs to follow the money to understand why all the push for the bill to pass.  Goldman Sachs has many links to what is happening because they are setting up all the Cap & Trade exchanges.  Among the financial elite that once worked for Goldman Sachs are NJ Governor Jon Corzine and US Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson. Many in the current administration have ties to Goldman.

Lisa Jackson, the former head of the NJ Department of Environmental Protection is now in charge of the US Environmental Protection Agency.  She examined the court charter of the climate change regulations and stated that the regulations will result in no meaningful change in the climate.

This will give us another opportunity to put pressure on the ‘representatives’.
