President Obama: Pass the American Clean Energy & Security Act

President Obama, speaking at a White House press conference on June 23, said, "This week, the House of Representatives is moving ahead on historic legislation that will transform the way we produce and use energy in America. ...We all know why this is so important. The nation that leads in the creation of a clean energy economy will be the nation that leads the 21st century's global economy. That's what this legislation seeks to achieve. It's a bill that will open the door to a better future for this nation and that's why I urge members of Congress to come together and pass it."

Good gawd leestauf... how do you think we got in this mess? Do you know how many jobs have left this county and how many huge companies/corps. now are totally owned by other countries. This numbers of outsourced jobs and the list of foreign owned "American" companies is terrifying! Obama's doing? Whoa....This type of mentality never ceases to amaze me.

And esp one that no one could read and synthesize in the time prior to the vote

I can't believe all of these people talking about money and climate change in the same sentence. ITS THE PLANET AND ITS FUCKED and naturally all the right wing capitalists care about is there fucking wallets. Besides its your ignorant views that made the economy this bad in the first place. Now I'm not saying this particular bill is the greatest, but to put a dollar amount on the environment is just rediculous.

Beware the "carbon footprint", the miles you drive, the method of heating your abode, the means by which you choose to travel, the type of clothes you choose to wear, the gas you emit, the cows you may own that have no 'Beano' additive in their food,the type of " clunker" you own, the color of that clunker asell as your house will be under Al Gores microscope and should you be careless and exceed the cap imposed upon you.... you will pay through the teeth. God Bless what's left of America.

May God help us if this crap goes through. Even the clown Obama said that it would increase energy costs astronomically. It will destroy what's left of the economy. But that's what Obama's puppetmasters, the Rockefellers and the banksters, have planned out for the USA.

In NJ it will be the same hosing. I am ashamed that the Republican Congressmen here jumped the line & supported it...The fools!

Unfortunately there will be. In Calif, we all had to swallow hard when the CalEPA stuck us with the enhanced fuel...The LA basin still is in severe non-attainment.

Down, guess you are in that hag's (Wiskwind) scope. Not to worry, she is unable to articulate any facts or intelligent opinion and will fling cute little names and insults...Cherrie Mclean envisions herself as the owner of our Country and that we are all supposed to just keep quiet.

I hope that the Senate has more sense and shoots this thing down. NOT a good thing for the US, esp at this time. Like the Acid Rain legislation, there is plenty of technologies that can be used without the cap&tax nonsense.UNlike Acid Rain legislation, there is NO proof that CO2 contributes to anything...

Obama has sold out the USA and is a traitor. This agenda ignores the overwhelming scientific evidence that humans have no control and nearly no effect on Global Warming. Instead, lets bury America with the greatest tax increase in history perhaps second only to the doubling of the money supply (bailout) whose effects will take 2-3 yrs to be in full effect. Wake up people!
