Dont Cap and Trade Missouri Jobs

The U.S. Senate is considering disastrous legislation, called the Waxman/Markey cap and trade bill (H.R. 2454), which will destroy jobs and raise energy prices in our state.

According to a previously secret Obama Administration Treasury Department report, if environmentalists get the bill they want American families will pay $1,800 a year in increased costs. All told, such a bill could cost Americans $200 billion a year -- a 15 percent tax hike!

Higher energy prices will cause a reduction in industrial output which will contribute to an estimated 58,900 jobs to be lost in Missouri by 2030. These jobs will go to workers overseas where they have little if any pollution controls.

This bill will cause electricity prices to rise for families across the country between 31 and 50 percent by 2030. In this struggling economy, Missourians can’t afford more job losses and higher energy bills.
