Bob Goodlatte actually said...

"Cap-and-trade legislation has the potential to devastate the agriculture community with higher operating costs and destroy ways of life in rural America."

"The cap-and-trade proposal is really an $846 billion national energy tax that will hit nearly every American."

"But wouldn't putting a cap on greenhouse gas emissions raise the cost of a wide variety of energy sources?"

"I hope that it has been timely, given the rush of events that we have here."
