Inhofe Predicts Failure of Climate Change Legislation
Tue, 20 Apr 2010 17:29:56 CDT
Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe believes climate change legislation will fail again, as it has on four previous attempts. Inhofe says - I started off as a believer until I realized what it was going to cost. Inhofe asks, - if the science behind climate change isn’t definitive, how can Congress impose reforms that could wind up being passed on to consumers by way of higher utility bills?
Inhofe says - the energy reform effort will stumble because of the nation’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels, which are both the dirtiest and the most abundant domestic sources of fuel. Inhofe believes - there’s been a wake-up call in America, and people realize that we have to continue to generate electricity. The Senator predicts - there may be a day when it can be done all with renewables. Inhofe says - I’m for renewables. I’m for geothermal. I’m for everything out there.
As the debate on climate change legislation continues, Inhofe warns that the bill is at the point where making changes or additions might - break down some groups and get them to come over. But when you do that, you lose others.
