The Heritage Foundation recently unveiled their entry into the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) video contest, which carried a $2,500 taxpayer-funded first place prize (not surprisingly, Heritage's video did not win). Heritage points out the fact that under Obama's Cap-and-Trade system:
- Gas (Natural) would increase by 55%
- Electricity +90%
- Gas (pump) 74%
The net results would be:
- Kill Jobs
- Grow Government
- Fail to Address Problems
If you don't believe me, and don't believe Heritage, how about President (then, candidate) Obama, who said that under his program, energy rates would "necessarily skyrocket"!
Heritage continues by making pointing out the folly of the "Energy Star" certification program, where it was revealed that of twenty fake products submitted, 75% were given the "Energy Star" seal of approval, even though the products didn't actually exist! It makes you want to question the validity of of that emblem on your washer and dryer, doesn't it? Is it any wonder that....
