The authors of this piece clearly did not do their homework. The Heritage Foundation is a conservative, if not right-wing, think tank. Debate the merits or drawbacks of their positions as you will, but the Heritage Foundation is no more non-partisan than professional wrestling is real. That being said ... the Heritage Foundation is recycling the same old garbage about jobs vs environment as if improving one automatically means harming the other. Indiana's environmental rankings are among the worst in the nation, and it has a great deal of room for improvement. I, for one, would be glad to see cap-and-trade implemented and enforced so this state can clean up its act. We'll all both figuratively and literally breathe easier if it comes to pass.
