In Session With Trade Groups, Gov. Goodhair Blasts Climate Bill That Would "Destroy" TX Economy

[hatrack]

Flanked by captains of Texas industry, Gov. Rick Perry again lashed out at the federal government on Tuesday for considering limits of carbon dioxide emissions.

At a business round-table organized by the governor's office at the Capitol, Perry said limits on carbon dioxide, which scientists have linked to global warming, would wreck the state's economy and raise utility bills for Texans.

"Are the Democrats willing to say we're fixing to raise everyone's cost of living in America, on science yet to be solidified?" he said.

Around the table with him were the heads of some state agencies and the leaders of trade associations for manufacturers, businesses, utilities, and oil and gas companies.

1. Not surprising whatsoever.

2. Galveston, oh Galveston. Houston, too, for that matter. And Corpus Christi.

When they're going under water, what will that do for Texas' economy?

I'm just glad I live up here in the Dallas area -- so I'll only have to worry about air pollution, excessive heat, and violent storms. Well, yes, also refugees from the Texas and Louisiana coast.

Or maybe even the Arkansas coast. ;-)
