Energy Scorecard

H.R. 1023 would repeal the so-called greenhouse gas reduction fund. This slush fund is a vehicle for handouts and payoffs to special interest groups that have the right politics. It is not an appropriate use of taxpayers dollars. The legislation would also repeal the natural gas tax which raises the cost of producing domestic natural gas. This tax comes out of the pocket of citizens in the form of higher prices for home heating and electricity, and these higher prices will continue to fuel inflation.
