I just think back to when gasoline went up to $4 a gallon. What were we told? “Drive less.” So if energy costs go up, then I guess we need to use less energy.

I don’t mind paying an extra $200 a year if it means that we reduce our reliance on foreign oil. I do have a beef with those that still resist nuclear power as an option.

It would have been nice if the bill included a clause that would prevent energy companies to raise prices for consummers. I think that would have been a nice addition to shut up the republicans.

This administration scares me to death. We are in an economic mess and here they are trying to push us off the cliff with this irresponsible bill. The fact that house members didn’t even have time to read it before voting is even more disturbing.

Quote:”In a 219-212 vote, the House of Representatives passed on Friday a climate bill designed to decrease U.S. independence on oil and create “green” jobs.”

MeNow: Perhaps that’s s’posed to be to decrease U.S. “dependence” on oil.

;-)

Interesting tactic, that; making current fuels cost more rather than seeking to make alternatives cheaper…
