Liberals Pretending to be Conservatives Push PA RGGI Carbon Tax

An environmental group purporting to be run by political conservatives, calling itself Conservatives For Responsible Stewardship (CRS), is pushing for Pennsylvania to adopt the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)--an obscene carbon tax that will kill the Marcellus shale industry in the state. In what has to be the ultimate example of chutzpah, the president of CRS, Dave Jenkins, argues in a column appearing in the Erie Times-News, that RGGI is (don't laugh) a "market-based program" and the type of thing old Ron Reagan would have liked. HOGWASH!
