Voices For Energy

Recently, Senators Barbara Boxer of California and John Kerry of Massachusetts introduced a first draft of the Senate version of the global warming bill, dubbed the "Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act." Although the draft failed to include many important details, the bill called for an even more stringent short-term reduction in carbon dioxide emissions than did the Waxman-Markey bill that narrowly passed the House in June.

We are all concerned about climate change and measuring carbon dioxide levels, but the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act is not the way to address the issue.

The hidden tax on commodities imposed by this legislation will lead to a significant increase in the price of gasoline and other energy sources, and more than a million job losses in our already crippled economy - with no measurable improvement on global climate change.

These are challenging economic times for everyone and I am deeply concerned that federal climate change legislation titled the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act recently introduced by Senator Barbara Boxer of California and Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts will place undue hardships on my family, my community, the oil and gas industry, and the United States of America. Simply stated, I believe the climate change legislation being considered will cost Americans billions of dollars in higher fuel and energy prices, kill jobs, reduce America's competitiveness, and will not deliver the environmental benefits promised. We are counting on you and your colleagues in Washington to vote against the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act as it will raise energy prices for Americans, jeopardize jobs, and make America less competitive.
