The Senate's leading climate-change bill, while aiming to combat global warming by reducing carbon dioxide in the air, actually poses "extraordinary perils" for Americans and the economy, according to a new study from The Heritage Foundation.
The study, produced by Heritage's Center for Data Analysis (CDA), forecasts severe consequences—including crushing energy costs, millions of jobs lost and falling household income—if Congress enacts the so-called Lieberman-Warner bill.
What follows are 50 state-by-state breakouts of the impact the bill would have on jobs and the economy.

What we need is “The America’s Climate Protection Amendment” to the US Constitution, whereby the government is specifically prohibited from making any law, regulation or executive order, or imposing any tax, for the purpose of changing or regulating the climate of the planet.
It’s the only way to preserve our natural liberties from the relentless onslaught of the climate nazis.
Even if such an amendment is politically impossible, a serious debate on its merits would do much to put the pro-global warming policy makers where they belong — which is on the defensive.
I call them “pro-global warming” because they cannot stand the thought that it might not be real. They will be grieving the loss of social engineering and power grabbing opportunites for the rest of their lives.
bookmark for later.
Why doesn’t the Senate just pass a law that regulates the earth’s temperature???
LOL, you want the GOP in the Senate to come to their senses???? That's a good one.
So? Who cares? As long as Liberals feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel good and are able to blame Bush for not implementing Kyoto.
They need to add water prices to that list. I just heard on the radio that the California Public Utilities Commission just approved tiered rates for water bills. We already have tiered rates for elctricity.
Tiered rates means you get charged different amounts for each amount you use over a certain amount.
baseline usage 259.90000 kwh@ $0.11556
101-130% of baseline 77.97000 kwh@ 0.13139
131-200% of baseline 181.93000 kwh@ 0.22708
201-300% of baseline 120.3667 kwh@ 0.31555
That is straight from my PG&E bill. They are going to do the same for water bills.
You’re right. What should we expect from bozos like Bond, Grassley, Lugar ?
I'm afraid that battle was lost with passage of the Endangered Species Act. While not an Amendment, it puts the Government in the position of ending the process of evolution by never allowing any species to go extinct.
Therefore it follows very logically that the Government should also be able to change or regulate Earth's climate "by any means necessary" (to quote the old Stalinist threat).
I have to admit being a little confused though. If the Al Gores of the world can stop evolution and regulate climate, why can't they stop future coastline flooding from Global Warming they fear so much? After all, King Canute thought he could control the tides, and anything an old king could do our present generation of all-powerful wunderkind should find very easy.
Or maybe as you say it has something do with with the power of taxation -- or just plain power?
You are correct about power. Each time we point out the illogic of liberal plans we are engaging straw men. They have no concern for the poor, the ill, a woman’s “right to choose”, the concerns of women in general, no interest in blacks other than as a voting block, same for Latinos, etc., no interest in any species nor the climate. These are all simply vehicles to power, but with a face on them intended to tug at the heart strings or strike fear in those so inclined.
“Abortion rights” are designed to lessen the concern for human life. While they use our Christian values and general morality to sell these scams to us they are busily trying to destroy them and replace them with the State. Their support for Islam in schools and elsewhere is to sew confusion and frustration, as are many of their obvious contradictions, i.e., opposing the death penalty while supporting abortion, concern for the perpetrators of crimes but little concern for the victims, disarming the innocents while allowing criminals access to guns, all to make us dependent on the state for protection that never comes. They never achieve what they claim because they never intended to. Making us more submissive to them is the goal.
I could go on and on but you already know what i am saying.

I agree completely. All their "causes" are ruses for the rubes. Anyone who's ever spent 5 minutes in debate with a true liberal knows they're totally insincere. Their only goals are to gain power and tear down civilization.
I pay about 1/2 of that for all kWH (see http://www.alleghenypower.com/Tariffs/VA/59673_VARetailTariff.PDF, Schedule R)
Yeah but you don’t live in ‘The Golden State’. ;)
extreme sarcasm intended. lol
Wait until you see Ed Markey's bill in the House.
