If this cap and trade bill goes through my hometown(which I love)will no longer be!!!! The coal buisness is all we have, It puts food on the table, pays the bills. We will have no future if this bill goes through, and neither will our children. The goverment will not be happy until everyone goes back to cave dwelling, hunters and gathers. I wish they would just stop with this foolishness, while there is still time. I live in Ky, in the region that mines more coal than another place in ky.

Let's not let this go any further. This caustic bill has not yet passed the Senate; everyone should be on the phone and writing email expressing outrage to their Senators!

This progressive scheme is simply another way that our power-hungry White House can wield more control over the subjects they rule over. Remember that the goal of 'liberalism' is never to improve anything, the goal is to bring everything down to the lowest level. Welcome to yet another redistribution scheme which aims to tear America apart - on purpose.

The ostensible goal is to steadily reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. This assumes that CO2 is harmful for the environment, which is not proven and highly suspect, especially when you consider it’s a natural gas given off by animals, and plants use it to grow and produce oxygen. The debate is far from over on anthropogenic global warming, and many prominent scientists have turned from believers to skeptics and the list is growing. Cap-and-trade will not have a significant impact on the environment, but it will destroy jobs and greatly increase the cost of energy.

It is not an energy bill and it will not help the consumer. Look at what this legislation does to US jobs and the economy. There are literally 100s of millions of jobs directly tied to energy -- from the 20 million folks employed in manufacturing to the 10 million airline industry employees to 2 million folks working in iron & steel to the more than 40 million retirees living on fixed incomes in this country. Any increase in energy costs will have a profound impact on jobs and the economy. By working to impose new taxes on hard-working Americans without also developing a much-needed comprehensive, balanced, long-term approach to energy policy, Waxman-Markey misses the mark. While the costs of Waxman-Markey may be subject to debate on the margins, there is no debate that it will raise costs for consumers throughout the economy. At a time of deep recession, high unemployment and uncertain recovery, it is troubling that this bill hits America in the pocketbook without offering any benefits for energy consumers. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/qgfmqv" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/qgfmqv</a> The interesting thing about Waxman Markey is what it is not.
