The latest response from Congress: Waxman-Markey Climate Bill

The House has been trailing the Senate in talks of the cap and trade emissions scheme thus far, so it's refreshing to see the debate heat up in the House of Representatives in 2009 with Congressman Waxman. 218 members of the House have to pass in favor of the bill for it to move forward. It seems very likely that such a bill will pass with the support of Nancy Pelosi, the President, and the overwhelming Democratic House of Representatives. The negative effects of climate change and the need for a cap and trade scheme are important matters in our nation and we must lead the world towards containing carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases. I cannot wait to see what happens this year.
