Cost-Benefit Analysis of Climate Legislation Needed (Sen. Larry Craig)

We need to perform a fair and responsible vetting of all the climate change alternatives before us. My position is perfectly clear: a cap and trade system is obsolete in its approach to green house gas reductions, it has not worked, and I do not see it working. Idaho is the cleanest State in the nation and enjoys the cheapest electric power rates. Implementing this legislation will result in nothing more than higher energy prices in Idaho.
