Hope you guys have written your senators about strengthening the Kerry Boxer bill and the Waxman Markey bill. The emissions reductions targets are pretty futile and only pertain to large CO2 emitters and they don't even compare to targets set at Kyoto seven years ago by the rest of the world. Also, these bill allow for coal industries to prevail with some marginal costs of abatement or permit trading. The two bills being discussed now do include a cap and trade system and some investment in smarter electrical grid technologies that will allow for renewable energy sources to be more effective which is pretty rad but overall the bills will come up short in mitigating carbon levels to those which scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change deem appropriate.
