That is how Nancy Sutley, chairwoman of the White House Council on Environmental Quality, describes how Americans will view the higher energy bills they will face under the Obama energy plan:

“The carbon price signal created by a cap-and-trade system will encourage energy efficiency, the low-hanging fruit of greenhouse gas emissions reductions,”

Why not be honest and say, “the really, really high energy costs created by a cap-and-trade system will encourage energy efficiency because people won’t be able to heat their homes to the terrarium-like temperatures that President Obama enjoys in the White House.”
