Energy Solutions Should be Based on Policy, not Politics
By the week's end, the U.S. House of Representatives could vote on one of the most significant and potentially detrimental bills in recent history - one that will exponentially increase the cost of energy and threaten Georgia's economic competitiveness while making only a negligible impact on global carbon emissions.
The American Clean Energy and Security Act is a 1,200-page bill that will impose sweeping changes intended to lower CO2 emissions and encourage the use of renewable energy sources. While these are laudable goals, the means of achieving them through this bill would essentially impose a multitrillion-dollar energy tax on all Americans - over $1,600 a year for the typical household - while reducing the United States' contribution to global CO2 emissions by only four percent, resulting in a minimal change in worldwide climate.
