In a press conference Friday, House Republican members said they were making their best efforts to profit off the Democrats’ apparent lack of unity on the American Clean Energy and Security Act in hopes of defeating the legislation.

GOP leaders described the bill, which stands to regulate carbon emissions as “a bureaucratic nightmare. “This is a tax on anyone who drives a car, buys an American-made product. [It] will affect every American,” said House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio).

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) added that the bill is “wrong for America, it is the wrong bill at the wrong time.”

As an alternative to the act, Rep. Cantor proposed reducing the cost of alternative fuels.
