Union of Concerned Scientists Testimony before the House Energy and Utility Committee
The scientific consensus that global warming is already here as well as recent actions by Wall Street, the private sector, and various levels of government are creating momentum for regulating global warming emissions at the federal level in the next few years. This will put a price on carbon dioxide emissions, which will significantly increase the cost of producing electricity from new coal plants and make cleaner alternatives such as energy efficiency, wind power, and other renewable energy sources more cost-effective. It is in the best interest of the state of Kansas to reject these bills.
