             WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Pete Domenici, ranking member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, today issued the following statement regarding an analysis of the Lieberman-Warner climate change legislation released by the Energy Information Administration today.
 
            “Today, yet another report was issued that shows that the Lieberman-Warner climate change legislation will adversely impact our economy.
 
             “4 out of 4 major studies now agree--Lieberman Warner will increase energy costs and decrease economic growth.  At a time when Americans are increasingly concerned with the rising costs of energy and the state of the economy, it is rather shocking that Congress would seriously consider measures which will send us on the wrong track on both.”
