The Economic Consequences of Waxman-Markey: An Analysis of the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009


We can always rely on The Heritage Foundation to cut through the clutter to provide common sense solutions and analysis on matters of great importance. Please read the following analysis of the Waxman-Markey Energy Tax plan. This horrible piece of legislation will devastate every family, especially low and middle income families already hurt by the 2009 Great Recession.


"After a truncated debate and last-minute changes, the House of Representatives narrowly passed climate-change legislation on June 26, 2009, designed by Henry Waxman (D-CA) and Edward Markey (D-MA). The 1,427-page bill would restrict greenhouse gas emissions from industry, mainly carbon dioxide from the combustion of coal, oil, and natural gas."
