“The Global Climate Coalition had represented more than 6 million businesses – including, among others, the American Highway Users Alliance, the American Petroleum Institute, the Edison Electric Institute, the National Association of Manufacturers, and the National Minig Association. Under pressure of activists, British Petroleum and Shell left the coalition in 1999 … They were followed shortly thereafter by Ford, Daimler-Chrysler, Texaco, the Southern Company, and General Motors.”

“It is not trivial to big business, however. John Grasser, vice-president of the US National Mining Association and member of the Global Climate Coalition (GCC) had this to say at the 1997 Kyoto convention: ‘We think we have raised enough questions among the American public to prevent any numbers, targets or timetables to achieve reductions in gas emissions being agreed here … What we are doing, and we think successfully, is buying time for our industries by holding up these talks. (Quoted, Paul Brown, ‘Temperature Rises at Global Warming Talks, Guardian, December 5, 1997).’.” (p. 156)

Tim McDonnell – Everything You Need to Know About Obama’s New Climate-Change Rules – The Atlantic, 02/06/2014 – http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/06/everything-you-need-to-know-about-obamas-new-climate-change-rules/371983/
“What else are critics saying? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce released a report Wednesday predicting that the new rules could cost the economy $1 billion a year in lost jobs and economic activity. The National Minig Association is running radio spots claiming they will lead to an 80 percent jump in electricity bills. The pro-coal group ACCCE conducted its own study, and concluded that the rules could run up $151 billion in additional energy costs for consumers by 2033. The trouble with such predictions, counters the Environmental Defense Fund’s Ceronsky, is that the economic impact of the rules will depend entirely on how states chooses to implement the standards.”
