The Greatest Hoax, by Jim Inhofe: on Energy & Oil


Al Gore: OpEd: Declined pledge to cut personal carbon emissions

Gore went around saying things like: the world must embrace a "carbon-neutral lifestyle." Al Gore, one of the biggest carbon emitters in the world, was chosen to be the face of the campaign to eliminate carbon from our lives. This was a recipe for failure.

At the end of "An Inconvenient Truth," the last message flashed on the screen is a challenge to America and the world: "Are you ready to change the way you live?" So I said, yes, Al Gore, are you ready to change the way you live? When Gore came to testify at an Environmental and Public Works Committee hearing in March 2007, I asked him if he would be willing to sign a pledge--frankly, of his own making--that as a believer in catastrophic man-made global warming, would he consume no more energy at his residence than the average American household by March 21, 2008? I even gave him a year to do it!

Of course, during the hearing he wouldn't answer the question.

Barack Obama: Cap-and-trade will make electricity prices skyrocket

Here's how cap and trade for carbon dioxide emissions works: As the government imposes caps on emissions, it essentially establishes an artificial price for carbon. Each regulated entity may only emit a certain amount of carbon, and if it exceeds that limit, it can buy credits from other entities that are not exceeding their limits. Of course, higher emitting entities such as coal-fired power plants, would have to purchase a large number of credits to continue business as usual, and as President Obama said himself, "electricity prices would necessarily skyrocket" because these costs "would be passed on to consumers" in the form of an energy tax. Ultimately, the real losers in this scenario would have been the American people, who would have had to shoulder the largest tax increase in American history.

The philosophy behind cap and trade is that if we restrict enough supply of fossil fuels, the price will increase, and we can simply shift to less costly alternatives. Yet this is wishful thinking.

Barack Obama: 2009: Spark a clean energy transformation

On Friday, June 26, 2009, Democrats made history. For the 1st time, a cap and trade bill--sponsored by Representatives Henry Waxman and Ed Markey--passed in the House of Representatives. Notably absent in Obama's ringing endorsement of the bill was any mention of global warming or climate change--or cap and trade for that matter:

"This week, the House of Representatives is moving ahead on historic legislation that will transform the way we produce and use energy in America. This legislation will spark a clean energy transformation that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and confront the carbon pollution that threatens our planet.

This energy bill will create a set of initiatives that will spur the development of new sources of energy, including wind, solar, and geothermal power. It will also spur new energy savings, like efficient windows and other materials that reduce heating costs in the winter and cooling costs in the summer."

Barbara Boxer: Global warming means future devastating effects

President Obama was clearly moving away from the catastrophe rhetoric. Several Democrats still hadn't let go of the idea of preventing bad weather by acts of Congress. Even in the same opening statement where Senator Boxer headlined with green jobs, she mentioned toward the end of the "devastating effects that will come in the future if we do not take action to cut global warming pollution. Droughts, floods, fires, loss of species, damage to agriculture, worsening air pollution and more." Senator Debbie Stabenow also hadn't let go of the catastrophe, saying in August 2009, "Climate change is very real. Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I'm flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes."

"11 academies in industrialized countries say that climate change is real; humans have caused most of the recent warming," admitted Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.). "If fire chiefs of the same reputation told me my house was about to burn down, I'd buy some fire insurance." An oil-state senator, David Vitter (R-La), said that he, too, wants to "get us beyond high-carbon fuels" and "focus on conservation, nuclear, natural gas and new technologies like electric cars." And an industrial-state senator, George Voinovich (R-Ohio), acknowledged that climate change "is a serious and complex issue that deserves our full attention."

Fred Upton: Introduced Energy Tax Prevention Act of 2011

In March 2011, I introduced S.482, the Energy Tax Prevention Act of 2011, along with Congressman Fred Upton, Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, who introduced the same bill in the House. The Energy Tax Prevention Act stops the Obama EPA's backdoor cap and trade regulations from taking effect: it protects jobs in America's manufacturing sector; protects consumers from higher energy costs; puts Congress in charge of the nation's climate change policies; and ensures that the public health provisions of the Clean Air Act are preserved.

[Opponents said] our bill should be called the "Big Polluter Protection Act." Contrary to the claims, our bill leaves all the essential provisions of the Clean Air Act intact. It simply prevents the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases which are not harmful to human health. Imposing energy taxes through EPA's cap & trade regulations and blocking economic development won't make Americans healthier--it will only mean fewer jobs, & a higher cost of living.

Henry Waxman: Energy Tax Prevention Act? No, "Big Polluter Protection Act"

introduced S.482, the Energy Tax Prevention Act of 2011, which stops the Obama EPA's backdoor cap and trade regulations from taking effect, and puts Congress in charge of the nation's climate change policies.

Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA) said that our bill should be called the "Big Polluter Protection Act." He went on to say that it would "repeal the only authority the administration has to protect our health and the environment without providing any alternative." Here we go again. Contrary to Representative Waxman's claims, our bill leaves all the essential provisions of the Clean Air Act intact. It simply prevents the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases which are not harmful to human health. Imposing energy taxes through EPA's cap and trade regulations and blocking economic development won't make Americans healthier--it will only mean fewer jobs, a higher cost of living, and less growth and innovation.

James Inhofe: FactCheck: Bush made change to "climate change," not Obama

Inhofe writes on p. 85, that after a series of blizzards in 2010, Al Gore commented, "Just as it's important not to miss the forest for the trees, neither should we miss the climate for the snowstorm." Inhofe adds, "The American people were suspicious to say the least, especially when they noticed a deliberate shift in terms over this period from catastrophic 'global warming' to 'climate change.'" Inhofe implies that the Obama administration made this rhetorical switch around 2009, in the post-Bush era. Is that true?

No, it's not; the switch was made during the Bush presidency. Our staffer, Jesse Gordon, worked as an EPA contractor in 2001-03, preparing content for the epa.gov website. Gordon reports, "During that period, word came down from EPA to change all instances of the term 'global warming' to 'climate change.'" That timing means that the Bush administration changed the rule from that of the Clinton administration; Obama & Gore had nothing to do with it, so Inhofe's implication is incorrect.

James Inhofe: Restricting fossil fuels will not spur shift to other energy

Under cap and trade, each regulated entity may only emit a certain amount of carbon, and if it exceeds that limit, it can buy credits from other entities that are not exceeding their limits. Of course, higher emitting entities such as coal-fired power plants, would have to purchase a large number of credits to continue business as usual.

Of course, the philosophy behind cap and trade is that if we restrict enough supply of fossil fuels, the price will increase, and we can then simply shift to less costly alternatives. Yet this is wishful thinking. Alternatives are fine, but in most cases, they aren't widely available or commercially viable yet--certainly not in a form that can efficiently, affordably, and reliably meet our existing energy needs. How are we supposed to run this machine called America without proven and reliable sources such as oil, coal, and natural gas? The answer is we can't.

James Inhofe: God promised to maintain cold & hot seasons

I take my religion seriously--I always say I'm a Jesus guy--so why wasn't I buying into what evangelists such as Rev. Richard Cizik were saying? Cizik was being sponsored by many environmentalist groups who were pushing the idea that evangelicals were on board with global warming hysteria.

Many times during my global warming fight, I turned to Day 36 of "Promises" which features one of my favorite Bible verses, Genesis 8:22:

And this is what a lot of alarmists forget: God is still up there, and He promised to maintain the seasons and that cold and heat would never cease as long as the earth remains.

James Inhofe: Fight cap-and-trade on jobs, taxes, and gas prices

The Lieberman-Warner cap and trade bill in December 2007 was the 1st time a cap and trade bill ever made it through the Environment and Public Works Committee.

A nonpartisan analysis of the bill revealed it would result in $4 trillion to $6 trillion in welfare costs over 40 years and up to $1 trillion per year by 2050. I carried around a memo with 4 themes based solely on economics. They were taxes, jobs, gas prices, and nuclear power. The themes quickly got the attention of the American people and my fellow Republican colleagues, setting the stage for the economic debate on the Waxman-Markey bill later in 2009 and 2010.

The news hit them hard: "Government studies confirm this bill will only raise gas prices"; "$6.7 trillion in the form of higher gasoline and electricity bills"; "1.8 million jobs lost by 2020 and 4 million by 2030 according to the National Association of Manufacturers." The economic impacts of the bill drove the debate.

James Inhofe: Stop cap-and-trade from getting in via regulatory back door

Even though global warming hysteria and cap and trade are long dead, the fight is far from over because President Obama is now moving forward with a plan to achieve through regulation what could not be achieved through legislation. In December of 2009, the Obama EPA issued what it called the "endangerment finding"--a finding that greenhouse gases harm public health and welfare. Armed with this "finding" the EPA is planning to regulate greenhouse gases instead through the Clean Air Act, which was never meant to regulate carbon. Like cap and trade, this plan will have the same $300-$400 billion pricetag, it will put the same amount of jobs in jeopardy, and it will cause the same amount of havoc for our economy. My fight today is to stop them from achieving this cap and trade agenda through the back door.

James Inhofe: Yes, we can produce our way to energy security

On October 23, 2009, just weeks after cap and trade--a bill that would force Americans into policies of energy austerity--came to the Senate a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) revealed for the 1st time that America's combined recoverable natural gas, oil, and coal endowment is the largest on Earth.

I requested the report along with Senator Lisa Murkowski because we had grown tired of the Democrats' refrain that America only has 3% of global oil reserves--which, according to this view, meant more drilling and production at home would be futile. The 3% mantra is their bread and butter talking point.

But the non-partisan CRS shows the full, complete, accurate picture of America's resources--and shows that, yes, we can produce our way to energy security.

Knowing what vast resources literally lay at our feet, it seemed all the more outrageous that we were even considering such drastic measures to limit access to these resources.

James Inhofe: China & India oppose binding carbon emission cuts

Let's go back to 2003. In my speech, I told the conference that the Senate would not ratify Kyoto. Here's what I said: "The Senate, by a vote of 95 to 0, approved the Byrd-Hagel resolution, which warned the President against signing a treaty that would either economically harm the US or exempt developing countries from participating."

Is that still true today? Of course it is. And yet here we go again: China, India, and other developing countries want nothing to do with absolute, binding emissions cuts. China and India have pledged to reduce the rate of growth, or intensity, of their emissions. But that's not acceptable to the US Senate. Moreover, China is opposed to a mandatory verification regime to prove it is actually honoring its commitments.

James Inhofe: Solyndra symbolizes Obama's war on American fossil fuel jobs

President Obama announced that as part of his clean energy push, "You show us the best ideas to change your game on the ground; we'll show you the money. We will show you the money."

The solar company Solyndra was one of those companies that was shown the money at the beginning of Obama's presidency, as it was a recipient of the stimulus under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. At the time, Solyndra was touted as the model to follow by the Administration for its green energy economy.

Now as the country struggles with unemployment and Solyndra has completely collapsed and gone bankrupt, it is clear that the President's policies of "showing the money" has meant throwing the money away. In the end, Solyndra is more than just a bankrupt company: it is a metaphor for the failure of Obama's war on affordable energy and American fossil fuel jobs.

John McCain: The snows of Kilimanjaro may soon exist only in literature

In one lively floor debate, on October 30, 2003, Senator McCain, after quoting Ernest Hemingway, made his case that global warming was a serious threat and because of it "the snows of Kilimanjaro may soon exist only in literature." He went on to say, "These are facts. These are facts that cannot be refuted by any scientist or any union or any special interest that is weighing in more heavily on this issue than any issue since we got into campaign finance reform."

I then quoted an article from the front page of that morning's "USA Today." Those changes in the Arctic Circle "are not related to (global) climate change." So it turned out that Senator McCain's incontrovertible facts about man-made catastrophic warming were refuted that very day.

In the end, even though few other senators would come out publicly to oppose Senators McCain and Lieberman's bill, it was soundly defeated on the Senate floor by a vote of 55-43.
