Yesterday, 100 House Democrats sent a letter to bank regulators asking them to reevaluate the impact of Washington's proposed capital regulation plan on green energy investments. 

These lawmakers add to a growing list of stakeholders raising concerns about the impacts of Basel III Endgame. Green energy investments is just one item in a long list of potential harms to the economy for:

• Savers, pensioners, and retirees
• Farmers
• Small businesses
• First-time home buyers
• Low-income borrowers

As pressure continues to mount on regulators to reexamine its proposed capital regulation plan, one thing has become abundantly clear: Americans can't afford it.
