Perhaps more research is needed to determine the impact of the proposed legislation. Oil companies and the oil industry are global, if costs are increased through taxes why wouldn't those costs be passed on to consumers? Is the intent of the legislation to hurt the American consumer especially those on fixed incomes or those with low incomes? Many have this concern.

"Gas consumers can expect to pay between $3.16 and $3.79 a gallon for gas in 2008" due to the Senate energy bill, a Heritage Foundation analysis found. "By 2016, all states can expect gas prices in excess of $6 . . . consumers would spend an average of $1,445 more per year on gasoline in 2016 than in 2008."
