Cap and Trade and Utility Bills

The Congressional Budget Office recently estimated that the resulting increases in consumer prices needed to achieve a 15 percent CO2 reduction -- slightly less than the Waxman-Markey target -- would raise the cost of living of a typical household by $1,600 a year. Some expert studies estimate that the cost to households could be substantially higher. The future cost to the typical household would rise significantly as the government reduces the total allowable amount of CO2.

Tell me a $1600 utility bill increase on top of rising gasoline prices wouldn't hurt our porn sales. If you can that's some hope and change I really want to believe in!
