The Climate Bill is stalled right now. Republicans have demanded a reading of the almost 500 page Bill. This really is just a tactic on the Republicans part to delay the debate. To be honest, i do understand. I think i promised to keep political opinions to myself- but i will admit that i am fiscally conservative and this bill is quite frankly the most ambitious legislation on Global Warming ever in the United States congress which some believe could have a large economic impact. The Bill, if passed would cut carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by 71 percent by mid-century from power plants, refineries, factories and transportation. But, if you ask me- i think i would rather loose a few dollars in order to breath cleaner air. What about you? So Come on Congress! I'll keep you all updated on this issue- but i have a feeling- that when the debate heats back up- there wont be any progress before the end of this session and they will come back when we have a new president and new session of Congress and resume the debate.
Try to look at it this way- i would give up my Starbucks in the morning for a little cleaner air.
