The American Council for Capital Formation (ACCF) and the National Association of Manufacturers
(NAM) unveiled a jointly commissioned study assessing the potential national and state economic
impacts resulting from proposed climate change legislation, America's Climate Security Act of 2007
(S. 2191), authored by U.S. Senators Joseph Lieberman and John Warner.
S. 2191 aims to reduce total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions with the goal of lowering emissions 63
percent below their 2005 levels by the year 2050. These reductions would be achieved through a
system that would call for companies to cap their emissions, and then to have them trade emissions
rights with each other.
The following pages are specific overviews of the impacts the legislation could have on each of the 50
U.S. states.
About NAM
The National Association of Manufacturers is the nation’s largest industrial trade association,
representing small and large manufacturers in every industrial sector and in all 50 states.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the NAM has 11 additional offices across the country.
About ACCF
The American Council for Capital Formation (www.accf.org) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization
dedicated to the advocacy of tax and environmental policies that encourage saving and investment.
The ACCF was founded in 1973 and is supported by the voluntary contributions of corporations,
associations, foundations, and individuals.

The study used the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) and assumptions provided by ACCF and NAM for this analysis. NEMS is used by the US Energy
Information Administration for energy forecasting and policy analysis. “Low” refers to the Low Cost Case, which assumes higher nuclear capacity, less constraints
on new generating technologies, etc. Both cases use higher capital costs than the baseline. “High” refers to the High Cost Case, which assumes low nuclear
additions, constrained new generation technologies, high oil prices, etc. (See the full report for all assumptions).

The study used the National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) and assumptions provided by ACCF and NAM for this analysis. NEMS is used by the US Energy
Information Administration for energy forecasting and policy analysis. “Low” refers to the Low Cost Case, which assumes higher nuclear capacity, less constraints
on new generating technologies, etc. Both cases use higher capital costs than the baseline. “High” refers to the High Cost Case, which assumes low nuclear
additions, constrained new generation technologies, high oil prices, etc. (See the full report for all assumptions).
