0:00.0 | Liberals in a dozen states trying to push through a regional agreement called a transportation |
0:04.7 | and climate initiative. It's aimed at reducing vehicle pollution, and one of the components is a |
0:10.2 | big carbon tax. It's basically the same kind of economic punishment that Obama wanted to inflict |
0:16.0 | on Americans via the Paris Accords. Fuel companies would be forced to buy pollution allowances. |
0:23.4 | States would supposedly invest that money in electric buses, car charging stations, and bike |
0:28.8 | lands, which would then supposedly reduce emissions by 25% by 2032. The usual leftist clap |
0:36.6 | trap. Now, you would expect this kind of environmentalist wacko isn't to be greeted with open arms in |
0:42.2 | the liberal northeast, but you would be wrong. Many northeast governors are not buying in. They're |
0:47.7 | worried that this plan would increase gasoline prices, hurting businesses and consumers. |
0:53.2 | Hardest hit would be those at the lower end of the economic ladder who have long commutes. |
0:59.2 | Not to mention the millions of residents in northeastern states who heat their homes with oil, |
1:04.4 | with a big carbon tax, they'll get hammered with high energy bills in the winter. |
1:09.6 | So apparently these governors are beginning to realize it's very easy for a leotist radical |
1:14.9 | environmentalist wackos to come up with job-killing economy-rekin climate plans, |
1:20.0 | but ultimately it won't be these elitist liberal wackos who will be paying the biggest price. |
