Climate Legislation: Rehberg: Climate Bill Will Cost Every Montanan

"Less than a year ago, I joined colleagues on the House floor to demand an all-of-the-above energy policy. The lights were down and the microphones were off because Congress had gone on vacation – a vacation that most Americans couldn’t afford to take because gas prices were too high. It's almost unbelievable the House just passed an energy tax that is specifically designed to raise energy prices for all Americans, rich and poor. Cap and Tax will hurt Montana families, cost Montana jobs and kick entire Montana industries to the curb. While there's no good time for this destructive policy, I can think of few worse times for it than in our current economic condition."
