Here it is. I've heard rumblings and talk of rumblings about potential Federal action on climate. From what I heard last week at the NEBC's Managing Carbon Conference this is the lead document to look at. Where the legislation might be going.
The US House Energy and Commerce Committee's White Paper on Climate Change Legislation.
Described in the intro, this 22 page paper is defined as the next step in the legislative process to develop a Federally required cap and trade program.
I realize this far out the sausage making process that is legislation is hard to bet on. Regardless though I can't help but think that this will be the wedge issue up there with abortion and taxes this Presidential election cycle. How pragmatically well done or weakly responded to, this issue could determine which party will hold the White House come January of 09.
