Questions & Answers About the CO2 Tax
Regulators, Consumer Advocates & Energy Interests On CO2 Tax
The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners is a non-partisan organization representing utility regulators, such as the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission and the Wyoming Public Service Commission. In March of 2007, the organization passed a resolution calling for consumer protection to reduce economic hardship for electric customers that cap-and-trade legislation would cause.
An organization representing utility users, the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates, adopted a resolution urging Washington to adopt measures to minimize the cost of a cap-and-trade system. The consumer group recognized coal as a critical part of domestic energy supply and the need to reduce potential increases in energy costs through investment in clean coal technologies.
The American Coal Council pointed to recent news reports indicating that the cap-and-trade plan could actually cost more than three times initial estimates.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce represents businesses - large and small. The proposed CO2 tax would cause the costs for these employers to skyrocket. For a glossary of terms and to read more click here.
