Richard from New MexicoI work in the oil and gas industry in South Eastern New Mexico. It has been hard these last few months to stay a float. I do not know what would happen to my job security if this bill passes. If I loose my job, how would I support my family?
David from TennesseeI work for the State Air Pollution Control Agency. I think the global warming concept is not true and wonder why the evidence that shows that and the experts who say global warming is incorrect are ignored by others (the media).
James from TexasIncrease the cost of energy and the cost of everything will be higher, disposable income will decrease, and the US standard of living will suffer.
Jim from New MexicoI think it’s very short-sided legislation, it discounts current jobs in New Mexico, and future jobs in New Mexico.
