PUC's Johnson To Testify On Climate Change Bill
The chairman of the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission, Dusty Johnson, says he will testify Wednesday before a U.S. Senate committee in Washington on climate change legislation. Multimedia If the bill becomes law, companies will have to get government permits allowing them to emit greenhouse gases. Companies could buy and sell the permits. Johnson says he thinks the measure would make South Dakota utility companies buy permits from companies in bigger states and that the legislation would raise the energy bills of many South Dakotans by 25 percent as early as 2012. He says the measure is "blatantly unfair" to the Midwest and is more about politics than the environment. The following comments do not necessarily represent the views of KSFY.com.

Our country's current enviramental regulations are already putting our businesses at a disadvantage on the global market. The only thing this bill will do is cost Americans MORE and we will have to pay more for EVERYTHING. Add a commentMost Popular |
