In a speech at Carnegie-Mellon University, President Obama
pledged to round up votes for a bill that will regulate GHG
emissions . . . Citing the Gulf oil spill, Majority Leader Reid has
asked Committee Chairmen for ideas by July 4th for a
"comprehensive energy bill." A spokesperson later
clarified that "comprehensive" means climate-included . .
. On Thursday of this coming week, the Senate will consider Sen.
Murkowski's "Resolution of Disapproval" of EPA's
finding that GHG emissions endanger public health and welfare.
Passage of the resolution would remove EPA's authority to
regulate GHG emissions under the Clean Air Act, which would scuttle
the Obama Administration's deal with the states and the
automakers for GHG standards for new motor vehicles.
