Not only did that eliminate 1,800 jobs, it also affected the family farms, the poultry people who are mortgaged to the hilt for their poultry houses, and their farms and they are not even included in there.

If we were to pass Waxman-Markey what would it do in terms of reducing the overall CO2 going into the air? She thought for a while, and I applaud her, and I have applauded her since then for her honesty, she said, nothing. It will not…

I hope that you will read the testimony of our witness that we had last week, Harry Alford, who is the president of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. It is not a matter of just losing jobs if we are to pass this bill, but it is…

Few would disagree that the passage of Waxman-Markey would effectively kill any future oil shale production in Colorado.

The problem is in China, in India. In China right now they are cranking out two new coal-fired power plants every week.

It would seem to me that it is logical that the drafters of this bill know it is going to cost jobs because they have unemployment benefits in there.

Only in Washington can we develop these thoughtless policies.

There is some effort to do away from hydraulic fracturing, and it would be devastating.

Sometimes we forget that nuclear energy produces 20 percent of our electricity but 70 percent of our carbon-free electricity.

When you hear claims about Draconian cap-and-trade proposals like Waxman-Markey will cost Americans a postage stamp a day, that is just absolutely ludicrous on its face.

This means taking away more jobs and then subsidizing a few green jobs in their place.

These jobs will shift overseas to China and spur their economic growth, not ours.

I look forward to a real and a rigorous discussion so that we can focus on green jobs and other jobs that make sense.

We must defeat this bill or anything like it and pass a common sense energy policy for America.

Cap-and-trade benefits the coasts at the expense of the heartland.

The Waxman-Markey bill will destroy far more jobs than it will create.

That is a concern that I have because I think if we become too restrictive here, the invested capital goes somewhere else.

Do you think the double-down and double-up index funds that are double-hedged have any extra contribution to some of the phenomenon we have seen?
