| Turned Off: Tell Sen. Graham He's Wrong |
|
Send Senator Graham a Message Senator Graham is seeking to tax 85 percent of our energy—the energy we get from coal, oil, and natural gas. This national energy tax, called cap-and-trade, would harm South Carolina’s economy. Current cap-and-trade plans moving through Congress could lead to a loss of 2.4 million jobs nationwide and over 28,000 lost jobs in South Carolina. Gasoline prices could increase by 26 percent and electricity prices could increase by up to 53 percent. With unemployment over 11 percent, now is not the time for a job-killing energy tax.

In exchange for this new national energy
tax, called cap-and-trade, Senator Graham wants to open offshore areas
for more energy development. The problem is these offshore areas
are open today—the only thing that stands between Americans and
increased domestic energy opportunities is the Obama Administration. If you don't live in South Carolina and want to send Congress a message, click here. Get the facts here.
