Democrat Climate Bill is DOA for now...

You are of course correct that this bill was a bad thing and it is a good thing it was stopped. However, that will not stop democrats from claiming the republicans don't care about the planet and just are being greedy and short sighted.

Let us not forget what this shame was going to do to electricity. Lieberman-Warner was going to force electricity to be generated from natural gas instead of coal. Coal to electricity cost on average 7 cents a kilowatt. Natural gas to electricity cost on average 11 cents a kilowatt. For every thousand kilowatts that would be an increase of 40 dollars. The average houses uses a thousand kilowatt a month, so the average household would see an increase of 40 dollars a month. Manufacturers use alot more electricity than we do. Manufactures will have to pay 20% more in electricity. That mean everything made in America will go up by 20%. The low number is that this bill will cost America 4 million job. I bet if this bill would run off more than 4 million. Even if it creates any of those mythical "Green" jobs, there would not be any offset. All the Democrats are waiting for is after the 08 election. McCain and Obama want this, and Democrats will probably gain seats. So it might just be a waiting game.
