This bill would increase energy prices $6.7 trillion.

If prices keep going up, we may not have a trucking industry.
How much will Lieberman Warner raise gasoline prices?

NRDC believes we’ll go up to 52 mpg. That would mean we would have a fleet of golf carts.
EPA says gasoline price will rise $.53 a gallon by 2030, $1.40 a gallon by 2050.
We’re on the wrong track.
We need to cut carbon, we don’t need to increase energy prices.
