Climate Bill: What's Hot? What's Not?

Margo Thorning, Chief Economist, American Council for Capital Formation

Reduction of U.S. greenhouse gases is a worthy goal, but there’s very little to celebrate in the House passage of the Waxman-Markey bill.  Try as they might, Congress simply cannot escape the laws of economics.  Substituting more expensive energy for cleaner energy comes with a high price tag. Under a cap and trade system, higher prices for electricity, natural gas and other energy sectors will be passed on to consumers that can ill afford higher bills in this difficult economy.
