house.gov Representative Ron Paul (TX) provides his insight and analysis on HR 2454 "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009" also known as the Waxman Markey bill. HR 2454 seeks to implement a federal Cap and Trade scheme onto both American business and individuals in the form of "carbon offset credits". The bill passed the House on Friday, June 25th, 2009 by a vote of 219 aye 212 nay. The bill now moves on to the Senate where some are expecting it to encounter a tougher road in its current incarnation.
