Business and faith leaders, environmentalist and clean energy supporters joined Senators John Kerry and Joe Lieberman for the rollout of their energy and climate legislation called the American Power Act. "When oil flows into our Gulf waters as fast as our gasoline money is flowing to the Persian Gulf, it's time for a new energy policy here in America," said Larry Schweiger, President and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation. Outlining the key aspects of the bill, Kerry said, "The American Power Act will restore America's economy, reassert our position as a global leader in clean energy technology. It will create millions of jobs."
Cap and Trade in the Senate now the American Power Act would increase taxes on the average household up to $3200 according to the RNC gas prices increase by $2.58 a gallon according to George C. Marshall Institute. With Obama demanding the cessation of offshore drilling gas prices are expected to increase yet another $5 a gallon, because we would grow dependent upon foreign nations we are not allies with in order to provide our oil. They would price gouge w/ gas prices increasing to $10/gal!
