The new Congress is trying to pass the buck on global warming and we can’t let them. As currently written, legislation now coming to the floor of the Senate contains provisions that would actually take us backwards.
At present, the Senate package contains: insufficient vehicle emissions standards with truck-sized loopholes to boot; biofuels provisions that rely on inefficient corn ethanol; language that would essentially overturn April's major environmental victory in the Supreme Court by stripping the EPA of important regulatory powers. It might also get amended to include incentives for liquid coal, even more filthy than gasoline.
We must take on congressional timidity and demand an end to half measures and industry favors. It's too late in the global warming crisis for this new Congress to let us down.
