Representative Blackburn (R-TN) Puts Gore Through the Grinder
This is great! Through questioning she has called out Gore on his conflict of interest with his money being tied up in “Green” companies and this Cap-and-Trade agenda.
This week Al Gore lied to congress. In his testimony he said at one point, “It’s going to save you money, and it’s going to make the economy stronger,”. Please remember this statement when in some not so distant January you read stories about children wearing two coats inside their homes because their average Middle American parents cannot afford the heating bill. Gore states at one point it would only cost the average family 18 cents more to implement both a carbon tax and Cap and trade policies. Right. The numbers that old Al was basing that on came from a paper that assumed that the United States would double the number of Nuclear power plants that it currently has; which is obviously not the case as environmentalists have stopped the production of any nuclear facilities completely.
According to the GPO and the Congressional Record, the real cost of Cap and Trade will mean about $3000 more in energy costs a year for the average American family. This column cannot quote you Democrat numbers, because the democrats have not published any estimates, other than Al’s “less than a postage stamp” comment . The brunt of this hideous new tax is going to be borne by those living in the areas of the United States with the greatest extremes in temperature. In summer that will be the south from coast to coast. In winter, the Midwest where freezing temperatures is the norm.
And we already know that Cap-and-Trade is a big tax – one of their own (Dingell) even admitted as such!
No wonder why Gore didn’t want to debate this during the hearing.
