The Senate's version of the climate bill is out -- and it strengthens part of the House's bill. Introduced by Senators John Kerry and Barbara Boxer, the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act puts us on the right track to addressing climate change.
The Boxer-Kerry climate bill strengthens several provisions of the House bill, including:
* raising the 2020 target for greenhouse pollution reductions to 20 percent below 2005 levels.
* ensuring that revenues from carbon regulation goes to transit, bike paths and other green modes of transportation.
* giving the EPA the authority to regulate coal plants under the Clean Air Act.
As the bill is debated in committee, we need to make it even stronger! Tell your senators: Push for and pass a strong climate bill!
We took action on “Support Stronger Boxer-Kerry Climate Bill!”!

Congress has failed to consider much-needed regulation of hurtful to the environment, ecology and Americans, substances which corrode us and the Earth. Senators John Kerry and Barbara Boxer are sagacious in their realizing that an amendment - theirs - is needed, making the Bill much more relevant and helpful.
This issue must not be set aside, but rather, must be acted upon favorably, very quickly.

20% is still not enough. Lets do the right thing and stop all possible polution and replace with saver technology. Make this a global emergency, and stop wasting time.
