Senator Lieberman, a key sponsor of S. 2191, admitted "it's hard to imagine" how industry and power companies would have met the demands of his bill. His comment also implies he's not concerned about the economic consequences of his feel-good directive.
In return for all this economic hardship, the Environmental Protection Agency analysis of S. 2191 said it would only reduce global CO2 levels by only 1.4 percent by 2050.
Affordable, plentiful and reliable energy is the foundation of our nation's economy. Sending energy costs through the roof with questionable cap-and-trade regulations on emissions now or in the future would have dire consequences for the standard of living of Marylanders.
