Spain and Australia are currently in the political process of reversing their cap and trade policies because the effects have severely hindered their economies and have lost jobs even though those policies were to create jobs. Sound familiar? The current bill under consideration in the U.S. is even more dramatic than those.
And do not forget about California's AB32, it has driven utility costs higher, increase the costs of goods and services and pushed tens of thousands of jobs out of state.
