Randy over at Randy’s Right posted the response he received from Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) regarding Cap & Trade. Senator Burr is opposed to Cap and Trade legislation, and details his reasons why.
According to energy policy experts, this cap and trade proposal could cost the average American household anywhere from $1500 to $4500 a year in higher energy bills. It would also impose higher costs on businesses and cause significant damage to American manufacturing, which would threaten jobs and economic growth. This would be devastating to families, especially now when our economy is already experiencing a severe recession.
Europe has shown by example that mandatory cap-and-trade systems, especially before the necessary technology is available, do not work. The implementation of such a system in Europe has cut economic growth and resulted in job loss as businesses have moved to other, less restrictive countries, while doing little to actually reduce emissions.
