Comments on: Climate Bill Passes in the House, Moves on to Senate http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/06/29/climate-bill-passes-in-the-house-moves-onto-senate/ Mon, 22 Apr 2013 21:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Gordon Gilmore http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/06/29/climate-bill-passes-in-the-house-moves-onto-senate/#comment-9735 Gordon Gilmore Fri, 14 May 2010 14:04:21 +0000 http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/06/29/climate-bill-passes-in-the-house-moves-onto-senate/#comment-9735 Magill..shut up. The purpose of the bill is to raise energy prices. And Listo, do you think it would stop at $200.00, get real. People start thinking for yourselves. Caleb is right, 7 people have sent this toilet paper to the Senate, where I hope brighter mines will put the paper in the circle file where it belongs. The two who wrote the bill are playing the game Obama wants, Cap & Trade. I hope you that voted for Obama have deep pockets to pay for what he want, I dont. Magill..shut up.

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. I just think back to when gasoline went up to $4 a gallon.

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

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. -Caleb This administration scares me to death.
