This bill is terrible, and if there really is any widespread support for it, it&#39s yet another argument for qualifiation and weighting of the suffrage for quality.

My fears is what it might do to American jobs in the manufacturing sector, what we still have remaining that is. Will this send more jobs to China? I&#39m sure the plants there aren&#39t going to be exactly envionmentally friendly. This bill may actually ingrease greenhouse gases while raising the energy cost for Americans, deepening unemployment, eroding the manufacturing base, and worsening the deficit. Don&#39t see alot of likely Win in this one.

If they really wanted to make a difference in greenhouse gasses that would not hurt the nation, they should have allowed for the expenses to upgrade facilities to meet the new standards be offset 100% by lower corporate taxes. This would allow for the changes to be made while not threatening American jobs. It should also give corporate tax credits to industries that cannot be made to work with alternative energy sources, rather than forcing them out of business or overseas.
