Seems like the EPA has some ‘splaining to do. No wonder they wanted to rush this bill through as fast as the could; it doesn’t hold up to scientific scrutiny.

H.R. 2454 passed 219 to 212, the eight of you would have made the
difference.

I am highly disappointed on your vote on H.R.2454: American Clean Energy and Security Act. When this is passed into law it will be a slap in the face of every American. It will raise our energy taxes and it is a job
killer: DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY AMERICANS DEPEND ON COAL FOR INCOME? YOUR NO VOTE TELLS ME YOU DON’T. DO YOU REALLY THINK THE JOBS LOSSES FROM COOL AND OIL WILL BE OFFSET BY CLEAN ENERGY SOURCES? I have visited solar and wind generators and there isn’t a soul around, once in place no one is needed to be hired to daily attend them. And the wind and sun do not pay taxes either, you probably didn’t think of that either.

YES, we need clean energy, but we need to be weaned off with incentives, not by taxing us to death. Heres an idea, build some clean nuclear plants, PLEASE!

Even after “your” Minority Leader read to you the load of crap in this
bill and you still voted yes, I can’t believe it?

I am sure John Boehner had some choice words for you EIGHT PHONY
REPUBLICANS about the time he call this bill “pile of shit.”

44 Democrats voted NO to this bill, they understand!

“Thanks” for raising my energy taxes, my electric bill and the
unemployment rate!

I wish I could vote you out of office,

P.S.
Oh yeah, “Thanks” to the two “Republicans” for not voting:
Jeff Flake (R) AZ-6
John Sullivan (R) OK-1
You guys suck too!

If it as represented and previous items are still in it…it’s a big-time job-KILLER. So I guess calling it a “jobs bil” isn’t quite a lie, it’s just begging people to assume that means it will create more jobs than it destroys. I can’t wait to hear how drastically hiking taxes and regulation and knocking down GDP a coupla points increases net domestic employment. You think US companies outsource overseas now? Just wait.

I’m also willing to place side bets that it increases rather than decreases our percentage of imported oil vs. domestically produced.

Through a series of parliamentary inquiries, the Republicans learned that the 300-plus page managers’ amendment, added to the bill last night in the House Rules Committee, has not even been been integrated with the official copy of the 1,090-page bill at the House Clerk’s desk, let alone in any other location. The two documents are side-by-side at the desk as the clerk reads through the instructions in the 300 page document for altering the 1,090 page document.

But they cannot be simply combined, because the amendment contains 300 pages of items like this: “Page 15, beginning line 8, strike paragraph (11)…” How many members of Congress do you suppose have gone through it all to see how it changes the bill?

That would be “none.” No one who voted on the 1400-1500 page bill actually knows what’s in it.

Does this bill even address what effect on the climate this new system will have?
