U.S. House Passes Anti-EU Emissions Tax
The House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly yesterday against U.S. participation in the European Union’s emissions trading scheme (EU-ETS)

The House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly yesterday against U.S. participation in the European Union’s emissions trading scheme (EU-ETS), setting up an international confrontation between Western Europe and the rest of the world.

Last week, the U.S. House sent a bipartisan congressional delegation to Montreal to meet with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) leaders, EU representatives and other officials regarding the U.S. opposition to the EU-ETS, which is set to begin on January 1.
