Right now, U.S. negotiators are pushing for a one-sided international climate agreement.It lets countries like China, India and Mexico off the hook, while Americans are forced to make enormous personal sacrifices. It will hit consumer pocket-books hard through higher prices for energy and consumer goods. According to a recent U.S. Department of Energy study, the agreement will seriously damage our economic growth. And because it will be cheaper to make things like cars, steel, cement and chemicals overseas, that’s where American jobs will go. Most Americans think this is a lot |
of pain for no gain. Here’s what a few concerned groups have to say:
"The impact ... would be a bureaucratic nightmare for the small business community ... the obvious consequence would be the destruction of American jobs."
"... the resulting economic dislocation ... would far outweigh any potential environmental benefit. Additionally, this would be a largely self-defeating policy that leaves all developing countries exempt from any meaningful discipline to curb emissions."
|
"... people in developed countries will bear the costs of tight restrictions and higher prices for energy use."
