David from Texas

I provided Obama this same information when he asked people to provide him questions when he had the first e-town hall, but it was not supportive of cap & trade so it never came up. This tax and trade bill is not an energy bill. It’s a tax surcharge like Carter’s Windfall Profits Bill that collected hundreds of billions of dollars from the E&P sector and God knows where it was spent.

Dr. Rizvi from Georgia

Having gas at $4 will be an additional burden and many more students like me will suffer drastically, so I would request both Senators Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss to vote no for this bill, and save us graduate students from more misery.

Arlen from Texas

Arlen is a petroleum engineer who has had a successful career producing oil and gas resources in a safe and environmentally conscious manner. He believes the solution to our energy needs is INNOVATION, not taxation. People who work in the energy industry today are passionate about our need to protect the environment. They have the creativity to meet our energy needs now and develop the cleaner alternative resources for the future.
