So "ACCCE" lied one way and politicians lied the other way. Not exactly a surprise, is it?

The first principle of government of the people, by the people, and for the people, is lie to the people.

yeah look who's behind the lies and what they stand to lose with energy reform!

The determination of truth is empowered to those with the knowledge of the facts. We the people... the preamble to one of this countries most sacred document, isn't always allowed to view those facts and come to our own conclusions. That's why we have a representative. A one that is given the power from those people to represent their word... Their dreams... Their hope... Their wisdom. There was a time when we stood behind those facets and those elected officials stood behind and was vocal with the words of the people he, or she, represented. I probably won't see it in my lifetime, but one day, I hope that the values we entrusted our representatives with will be honored...

Once again, have a nice day...

Everything would increase in price. How stupid does the Congress think we are ?

I find it very funny that people in this country put hundreds of comments on any news related to Palin, Obama or McCain than none for something that is useful and informative.

Anyone who believes the postage stamp price for this bill is either blind or stupid. This should be called cap and scam because that is what it is. I'm sick of these hard core people trying to destroy our way of life over a theory and so far that is all it is a theory.

Crap & Tax legislation is completely fraudulent and it comes at a time of double digit unemployment in our country! As Portugal can attest, there were NO big green jobs boom and NO great increase in energy independence. In the end, all it id did was increase taxes and unemployment while contributing very little to nothing toward "cleaning up the environment"!

GOP can't win on the TRUTH has to resort to FABRICATED LIES to TERRORIZE AMERICA.

Why does the GOP want to bankrupt America for Saudi Arabia?

What else is new ?

America already has half the electricity cost rates of any other country in the world. And yet those other countries don't go broke. Why? Because they don't cool movie theatres in the summer with wasteful AC to 50F. (seriously, I walk around in shorts, flip-flops and a t-shirt, and I still have to bring a jacket with me to the movies because it's freezing in there!) If we just start using electricity reasonably we wouldn't have a problem with energy costs at all!

And what's so wrong with rising energy costs? It's because people don't want to pay more. Guess what, there is an easy way to do that: turn off your computer now, and moderate your AC/heating throughout the year! You'll easily save over two hundred dollars if you just use less electricity! But I guess Americans think they have a 'right' to cheap electricity and to needlessly waste it in their homes and offices, even when they aren't even there!

Any member of congress that votes for this garbage needs to be thrown out of office on their posterior. Leave it up to a dumbocrat to come up with a stupid idea like the Cap and Tax bill. If you dumbocrats really believe the energy companies are not going to pass the cost on to their customers your living in La La land.

Markey is full of crap. First he admits energy costs will go up, but tries to sell it as "only by a little". How much confidence do you have it that?

Energy costs will go up more than they expect, and once again, we get to foot the bill.

Markey is full of Marlarky.

Funny. The Daily Show ran this like two weeks ago. Just sayin'...

Good we need to take on all the special interest groups and sort out their lies. Let's see who is paying who

Republicans like to mislead the nation,keep up the good work Mr. President GOD has his hands around.

Another company says something that Dems don't like and well here we go again it must be anyone who dare question them is lying. A country overseas is trying the same go green Obama wants. Estimated cost $880,000+ per job created because the technology just isn't there yet. Here in FL, FLP will do much better, with only $400 million of tax payer money they will throw in the same and create 6000 jobs. Only $135,000 per job. I can't wait to see what 3 million new green jobs will cost.

We have "clean coal" technology already; its called "Leave it in the Ground".

Obviously this is not very practical. But neither is building new coal-burning power plants.

What is the fuel cost of solar and/or wind technology? If you guessed "zero", you are spot on. If some company could get the rights to sell sunshine and moving air, you can bet we'd have promotion of these sources too.

Hmmm... a for-profit energy company using resources to falsify information to derail legislation, what a shocker (sarcasm). I don't know if there is anything more convincing that this legislation would be good for consumers than the unethical actions taken by the very company who stands to lose.

More of the same from the coal lobby – working hard to buy off congress, so you don't have to.
