EIA also found Lieberman-Warner would result in up to a 9.5% drop in manufacturing output by 2030.

“Despite this gloomy EIA analysis, proponents of Lieberman-Warner are still claiming the bill will not impose economic harm to America. Only in Washington could higher energy prices be characterized as not negatively impacting the U.S. economy. If Democrats have their way, Americans will pay significantly more at the pump, in their homes, and in many cases, with their jobs, all to accomplish an undetectable impact on the climate.

“The question now is which U.S. Senator will dare to stand on the Senate Floor a month from now to vote in favor of significantly increasing the price of gas at the pump?”

Both government and private sector analysis have shown the cost of the Lieberman-Warner bill to be extremely painful.
