About The Heritage Foundation

Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution—a think tank—whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense. We believe the principles and ideas of the American Founding are worth conserving and renewing. As policy entrepreneurs, we believe the most effective solutions are consistent with those ideas and principles.

What’s in Lieberman-Warner Bill?

Posted May 22nd, 2008 at 12:15pm in Energy and Environment 2 Print This Post Print This Post

As we outlined earlier today, a cap-and-trade policy would pose a grave threat to the U.S. economy. Yet that won’t stop Congress from charging ahead during the first week of June on the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2008.

The Heritage Foundation has secured a copy of a complete substitute of the amendment (here and here) to be considered by the Senate when lawmakers return from their Memorial Day recess. Like we did last year during the debates over immigration reform and the omnibus spending bill, we’ve made the text available to you for review.

It is important that American citizens know what’s in this legislation before the Senate acts on the bill. After all, it will dramatically increase the price of energy and create a new bureaucratic cap-and-trade scheme to reduce the consumption of carbon based fuels.
