Click through on our link to the study and you'll see that Professor Reilly was trying to pull a fast one on the American people. His study clearly shows that cap and trade would cost American families $3,100 per year in new energy taxes. Now Reilly tries to claim these are not "costs" since the federal government will then get to spend the money, but if you believe that then why don't you just double the FICA withholding out of everyone of your paychecks? After all, accoring to Reilly, and I guess you to, it doesn't actually "cost" you anything. Dear Conserve-

But this quoted study and 3900 dollar cost have since been discredited by several people including MIT. Newt looked like a idiot when he tried to refer to these numbers in the hearings last week. The truth about the plan, according to Professor John Reilly, one of the authors of the much misquoted and miscalculated cap-and-trade study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), is that the figures are inflated by a factor of ten. The real cost to Americans? More like $340, and that doesn’t even account for an emissions reduction threshold reached (or passed) by 2050, or the fact that all dollar calculations are made at today’s dollar value.
