New Energy is Costly
To the Herald Times editor:
Your May 5 editorial correctly states that Americans still don’t know how much more they will pay for electricity if Congress succeeds in passing a cap-and-trade tax.
This is not because these costs cannot be accurately estimated, but rather, because any objective analysis will show that Americans will see substantial increases in their utility costs. So it is not surprising that cap-and-trade boosters prefer not to discuss such pesky details.

Hill Trying To Do The Impossible
One thing not in dispute in the debate over the automakers’ bailout bill is that Indiana’s economic well-being is heavily at risk if General Motors, Chrysler or Ford go out of business.
No one is arguing with the Economic Policy Institute’s estimate that a shutdown of domestic automakers would put nearly 150,000 Hoosiers out of work.
Like most Hoosiers, I don’t want them to lose their jobs. But I have some serious doubts about the bailout because it is clear Congress intends to do a lot more meddling in the auto industry than just loan money.

Hill Blocks Sunlight: Congressman Opposes Reform of Secretive Spending Requests
How quickly things change. Less than a year ago, candidate Baron Hill promised voters of Indiana's Ninth Congressional district that, if elected, he would work to clean up the culture of corruption in Washington.
