"Utilities and companies that exceed their allotment will be required to buy credits to cover their surplus..." That means we the utility users will pay much higher prices for power and natural gas, hurting low-income families the most. And to what end? There is not data showing that these draconian measures will add up to a measurable impact on climate change. How foolish.

I couldn't agree with Jeff more! We don't know the cause of climate change and now some scientists believe that we are going into a cooling period. The climate scare is costing families and hurting the economy and our Country's ability to compete globally.
