these costs will be passed on to the consumers?

trillions of dollars that will be passed on to the consumers, which will disproportionately hurt the working class, the poor, the middle class, and the elderly.

we are trying to slow the train wreck down somehow.

But because of the power plants that are run by coal that we have already seen that are shutting down, et cetera, is the reason that you made those statements and that you think there are going to be more 202 orders is because of some of the policies that are being brought about by the EPA under this administration?

When I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, you know, under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.

But when the President has more flexibility, if we believe his words, and we believe his words from his last campaign, don't you anticipate that he is going to make the costs rise on the use of coal and even natural gas, because they are both carbon-based fuels?

Well, I am not sure I would go there, especially as an American. I don't want to accuse you of being too Canadian.

Well, it is your safety program, Honorable Member, and it will be a pipeline built by Americans, supervised by Americans and made safe by Americans.

So you would generally agree with me that we probably have greater than 2 percent if only we would use our resources, is that correct?

And so would I be correct in believing that by not allowing the United States and Canada to expand our use of our natural resources, we may in fact be creating a greater problem worldwide with pollution than if we are allowed to use with our sensitivities to the environment are allowed to use our natural resources?

It just looks like to me that this administration has an 'all of the above' policy to raise the cost of energy on all of the above.
