Issue Position: Cap and Trade

Issue Position

Cap and Trade involves using new regulations and legislation to reduce the release of various pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere and oceans. The prime pollutant is carbon dioxide. If enacted, this law will create a scheme that would allow companies to buy and sell their emission permits or credits. But despite the political spin in Washington, this is nothing more than a smokescreen to impose a tax on business that will hurt not only businesses, but particularly distributors, and will ultimately hurt the consumer.
