Action Needed: Oppose Federal Cap And Trade Program

The federal government is trying to put a cap on the amount of carbon dioxide that businesses can emit, in order to reduce global warming.
 

Businesses will be forced to purchase "emissions permits" regulating how much carbon they can emit.

The Fresno Chamber opposes HR 2454, The American Clean Energy and Security Act, which is currently under consideration by the House of Representatives.

This legislation, which is referred to as Cap and Trade, will drive up the cost of doing business, leading to more workplace reductions and higher prices for consumers.
