Listen as Obama speaks of Cap and Trade and explains how it will be necessary for the electric suppliers to pass on the the cost of retrofitting to consumers. The upshot is that there is no way to avoid higher electricity costs to consumers if the bill is passed. In this case, I believe that Obama is telling the truth. Ironically I heard about it first from FOX news. But I just thought it was part of their agenda driven programing so I disregarded it. : ) / GB
