Senator Brown Puts Manufacturing Issues at Forefront of Cap and Trade Debate
In the quest to secure 60 votes for cap-and-trade legislation, bill sponsors can point to almost any member of the Democratic Senate majority as a “must have” vote.
But, at least in the early days of the debate over the Kerry-Boxer climate change package, perhaps no single Democrat has received as much attention as Ohio’s Sherrod Brown, who has become an absolute “make or break” vote for the majority.
The first-term senator is one of several Midwestern Democrats currently on the fence over the bill, and there are others on that list who have more seniority and, perhaps, more power to shape major legislation. The only committee on which Brown sits that figures to get a crack at the bill is Agriculture.
Nevertheless, Brown is a pivotal litmus test in the ability of Democratic leadership to bring other moderate senators on board.
US Security Depends on Going Green
America’s national security is at risk unless Congress and the Obama administration end partisan wrangling and agree on legislation to reduce U.S. contributions to climate change, a bipartisan group of former presidential advisers, cabinet members, senators and military leaders said Tuesday.
The energy and climate debate is divisive, but it’s possible for the government to devise a “clear, comprehensive, realistic and broadly bipartisan plan to address our role in the climate change crisis,” declared the Partnership for a Secure America, a group that seeks a centrist, bipartisan approach to security and foreign policy.
News & Media
Our outdated energy policy is dragging America’s economy down and hurting working families trying to make ends meet. To turn our country around, we must cut our dependence on foreign oil, invest in energy efficiency at home, and repower America with clean fuels.
