Steve Kagen Election File File # 2

From The Green Bay Press.
We have more evidence of Mr Kagen's insanity for next years election. Here he teams up with a bunch of wacko's pushing bio fuel. Mr Dickman must be getting a lot of government assistants with his pet business. And other fruit cakes are falling out of the tree following him. I will just highlight in red some of the more just plain crazy statements from Kagen.

"Energy bill heads to Senate with Kagen's support
Consumption is tops for many businesses

ASHWAUBENON — The carbon footprint of transportation and other companies is becoming a growing concern to consumers.

Finding ways to get products to customers with the least amount of energy consumption, environmental impact and economic impact is one of the roles Ashwaubenon-based Breakthrough Fuel fulfills.

The head of the company, Craig Dickman, says the pending "American Clean Energy and Security Act" is bound to put an increased focus on energy consumption and the environment, as well as helping their business.

The guy is looking for more of your tax dollars! Speaking of Mr Dickman, didn't Clint Eastwood say Larry Dickman was his brother in one of his dirty Harry movies? Remember, he goes up to this whore house, old ladies are writing love letters and kissing the letters with a lot of lipstick! Back to the article.

"When I started this business in 2004, probably one out of 10 companies wanted to talk about emissions and carbon footprints. Now it's probably five out of 10 and it's going to be nine out of 10 very, very quickly," he said.

Yea, 5 out of 10 loony's

Dickman said for some clients, their adaptation of measures to curb their environmental impact has become a marketing tool to customers.

"We have clients that are building into their corporate go-to-market strategies," he said. "One of our clients is focused on how we can work with them over five to seven years to change how they get product to the market. They want to go to the marketplace and say all of their goods are being moved using environmentally friendly, renewable, fuels.

"They see that as an important consumer value that folks are going to look for when making choices about products," he said.

Oh brother!

Dickman participated in a news conference Thursday with Rep. Steve Kagen, D-Appleton, in which Kagen touted the energy bill as a way to create new jobs in the region and nation and move the county away from dependence on foreign energy sources.

Create new jobs, how many new jobs did the stimulus bill give us? Unemployment nation wide is 9.5 %. Steve, what jobs?

"This energy bill will slowly begin to transform our economy," said Kagen, who said he had concerns about an earlier draft of the bill that didn't take into account the paper and agriculture sectors. "It will begin to change the way we generate energy and the way we consume energy … and we're going to change the way we do business."

"Slowly", yea maybe 30 years. "Had concerns over the earlier draft", he didn't read any draft of any bill and he talks like he knows whats in the bill! He is insane! Also, " didn't take into account the paper and agriculture sectors". What? He's going to close more paper mills and the farmers are going to charged for cow farts! That will sure change the face of the Wisconsin economy?

The bill passed the House of Representatives last week by a 219-212 vote and is now headed to the Senate.

Prior to last week's vote, Rep. John Boehner, the House Republican leader, called it a "bureaucratic nightmare" that would cost jobs, depress real estate prices and put the government into parts of the economy where it now has no role.

It will be a nightmare and Steve Kagen's hands are all over this!

The legislation would require the U.S. to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by 17 percent from 2005 levels by 2020 and by about 80 percent by mid-century. That was slightly more aggressive than Obama originally wanted, 14 percent by 2020 and the same 80 percent by mid-century.

So me, you ,all humans emit carbon dioxide when we breathe. Does Steve Kagen want to eliminate humans on earth? Don't put it past him!

Under the bill, the government would limit heat-trapping pollution from factories, refineries and power plants and issue allowances for polluters. Most of the allowances would be given away, but about 15 percent would be auctioned by bid and the proceeds used to defray higher energy costs for lower-income individuals and families.

There goes a lot of businesses in Wisconsin on top of high electric prices.

Kagen contends passage of the bill — which he said puts all forms of energy on the table, from nuclear to biomass — would not put an undue financial burden on average Americans.

What does he consider "undue"?

"The estimates that were available were anywhere from $40 to $140 per year is the additional electricity cost a homeowner may pay," he said. "It's little to no cost and we're becoming energy independent."

Steve Kagen, is not telling the truth here, it will be $40 to $140 more per month not per year! That's $1680 a year alone on electic costs! What about gasoline prices? What about food prices? Mr. Kagen should be silent on his vote on cap and tax, cap and trade, what ever you want to call it! INSERT FOOT INTO MOUTH! Nice.
