Kerry-Boxer bill battle set for Tuesday

Posted in:

The Republicans are not going to be present, but a U.S. Senate committee will apparently move ahead to approve a massive energy and air pollution regulation bill. This is the Kerry-Boxer bill. There's a rule loophole that will allow Commitee Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-CA) to move ahead with no Repubs present. Here you can peruse the entire bill, all 959 pages of it. The bill currently contains cap and trade and tighter emission standards than the bill passed by the House last spring. I blogged earlier on the political problems this Kerry-Boxer bill faces. It's very clear there's little public agreement in the U.S. about global warming, or what we should do about it. In the eyes of much of the rest of the world this once again makes the U.S. a rogue nation. Tops in greenhouse gases, along with China, but not willing to admit we need to do anything about it.
