Big Green environmentalists and allied politicians have an effective tool in advancing their legislative agenda: Fear of global warming and its alleged catastrophic consequences. Unfortunately, regulations designed to restrict carbon emissions — and therefore “save the planet” — burden energy producers with unsustainable costs and limitations, leading to higher energy prices for consumers when many families cannot afford to pay more to heat and light their homes.
At a time when the United States (and much of the world) teeters on the abyss of fiscal collapse thanks to staggering levels of debt and deficits, the cure environmentalists prescribe for the global warming “fever” would amount to nothing less than economic suicide.
