From Unleash Prosperity Hotline #1442:
Welcome to the Latest Green New Deal Gambit
The climate change fanatics never give up.
Here’s their latest scheme as reported by Inside Climate News:
The proposed Illinois law would tax fossil fuel companies for causing floods and hurricanes and snowstorms – because that NEVER used to happen.
The bill’s author, State Rep. Robyn Gabel, said: “The costs with climate change are going to be extravagant, and are going to end up on the backs of the taxpayers, as the oil companies continue to walk away with huge profits. Polluting companies should be responsible for the damage they cause.”
Similar bills have been introduced in Rhode Island, Maine, and DC. New York and Vermont have already passed their versions.
These are simply disguised energy taxes that are passed on to blue state households that have a car or heat their homes. Then these same lawmakers complain about an affordability crisis.
