At what cost, with what benefit???

This juicy morsel of news is from SECO, my energy company.
Many people believe that the use of fossil fuels for energy and transportation, and the resulting green house gases (GHG) that are produced, are driving us toward catastrophic "global warming". Our governor has proposed an ambitious GHG reduction plan for out state. (Florida(. We think that this plan is wrong for Florida and it;'s residents. The; pro0posed emissions caps will hurt our economy, jeopordize our eneergy independence, discourage new business and increase the cost of every kilowatt hour you use. With no significant benefit to the environment. The State will suffer a net loss of 295,566 jobs in 2020. Florida's GSP would be 1.0% lower. Total industrial ouput decreases 1.6% in 2020 and 4.2% by 2050.Florida's consumers will see higher energy prices soubling by 2035.

There is more, but I submit that THAT is enough.
Back off Guv, let's do a more pragmatic study or do you want to join the idiots that are supporting "corn for ethanol"? WE, those of us who read and inquire know what a fiasco that program is.

Luv to all,.......KERMIT
