Liberals in a dozen states trying to push through a regional agreement called the Transportation and Climate Initiative. It's aimed at reducing vehicle pollution, and one of the components is a big carbon tax. It's basically the same kind of economic punishment that Obama wanted to inflict on Americans via the Paris Accords. Fuel companies would be forced to buy
pollution allowances. States would supposedly invest that money in electric buses, car charging stations, and bike lanes, which would then supposedly reduce emissions by by the usual leftist clap trap. Now, you would expect this kind of environmentalist wacko isn't to be greeted with open arms in the liberal Northeast, But you would be wrong. Many Northeast governors are not buying in. They're worried that this plan would increase gasoline prices, hurting
businesses and consumers. Hardest hit would be those at the lower end of the economic ladder who have long commutes, not to mention the millions of residents in Northeastern states
who heat their homes with oil. With a big carbon tax, they'll get hammered with high energy bills in the winter, So apparently these governors are beginning to realize it's very easy for elitist, radical environmentalist wackos to come up with job killing, economy wrecking climate plans, but ultimately it won't be these elitist liberal wackos who will be paying the biggest price
