H.R. 2454 Could Mean Increased Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The impact of the Waxman-Markey climate legislation is not only significant for domestic refiners, but also for the American driving public, farmers and truckers. Our businesses help drive our nation’s economy by safely developing clean and reliable fuels for our transportation needs, as well as providing the basic chemical building blocks for American manufacturers. The increased costs inherent in H.R. 2454 would potentially force the United States to outsource its energy needs to foreign entities. Given those circumstances, refined products would be produced by foreign companies not bound by the bill’s provisions. Global greenhouse gas emissions could likely increase if this bill becomes law.
