Barack Obama, January 2008.
“Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket… Coal-powered plants, you know, natural gas, you name it, whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.”
Democrats have been pushing policies to raise energy prices for every American for decades. Why? Because they believe you’re killing the planet by heating your home in winter and cooling it with air conditioning in summer. They believe your car is killing mother Earth.
