Below is an excerpt of her comments:
President Obama himself has said that as a result of this national energy tax, electricity prices would, and I quote, "necessarily skyrocket." His own Department of Energy has determined that millions of jobs would be lost.
Since Democrats in Congress have failed to get a cap and trade bill to the President’s desk ahead of the Copenhagen Summit, President Obama took unilateral action this week to pile more regulation on the backs of families and small businesses in the name of combating global warming. On Monday the President’s EPA administrator, Lisa Jackson, took the first step toward imposing costly new regulations on businesses for emitting carbon. My bill, H.R. 391 would stop the EPA.
Just think of what will happen to small businesses and manufacturers hit with these skyrocketing energy bills, especially when nations like India and China don't agree to these mandatory emissions limits. With Americans already facing double-digit unemployment, there could not be a worse time to unilaterally disarm our engines of job creation and economic growth.
