Congress About to Embrace a Scientific Hoax

Phil Brennan / Ether Zone:
Friday, June 26, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on a bill based on a scientific impossibility that will impose a huge tax burden on an already staggering economy, and in the words of Barack Obama, send the cost of everybody's electricity skyrocketing. According to the legislation a 17 percent emissions reduction from 2005 levels by 2020 would be required.

Hailing the House, President Barack Obama put pressure on senators Saturday to follow its lead and pass legislation to limit greenhouse gas emissions, helping usher the U.S. into a new age of energy efficiency. The legislation, which the House narrowly approved Friday night, would place the first national limits on emissions of greenhouse gases from major sources - such as power plants, factories and oil refineries - to reduce the gases linked to global climate change.
