Sen. Cornyn's Statement On EPA Endangerment Finding's Effect On Texas
Statement
Issues: Environment
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, today issued the following statement regarding the Environmental Protection Agency's announcement today that Greenhouse Gases "threaten the public health and welfare of the American people" :
"Carbon dioxide is necessary for human life and regulating it as if it was a pollutant would be a job-killer, potentially even worse than the proposed national energy tax which could eliminate up to 313,000 Texas jobs by 2020, result in higher energy bills and increase the cost of household goods by $1100 per family," Sen. Cornyn said.
"With double-digit unemployment the last thing Texas families, farmers, and small businesses need is, yet another, job-killing policy."
