Kicking Off The Senate Climate Debate...
The New Republic blogs — Health care and the public option are still hogging all the headlines, but this week is also the week that the climate debate officially dashes off the starting blocks in the Senate. From Tuesday through Thursday, the Environment and Public Works (EPW) committee will hold hearings on the Kerry-Boxer climate bill, with witnesses including pretty much everyone even tangentially involved in this issue: from administration officials to utility executives to military leaders to energy wonks (You can see each day's schedule here ...

Senate Energy Bill: Obama, Biden and Cabinet Go All-In On Another Top Priority
Politics Daily — Filed under: Senate, Joe Biden, Energy, Obama Administration, CongressNothing says all-in like having the president, the vice president, three Cabinet secretaries, and two agency heads send the same "we care" message on the same day. It's all about achieving liftoff for the Senate energy and climate bill that's in the spotlight this week. It may seem as if that part of President Obama's agenda, involving the controversial "cap and trade" system of curbing carbon emissions, has been nudged off to the side while he and Congress deal with everything from CEO bonuses to overhauling the health care system. The events of Tuesday are a reminder that for ...

Is U.S. Falling Behind in Clean Energy?
ABC News: Politics — Backers of a sweeping energy and environmental bill are hoping to inject new momentum into a stalled effort to cap carbon emissions , with a major push timed around extensive hearings this week on Capitol Hill.

Over the next few days, 54 witnesses on nine separate panels will testify before the committee, and proponents of the bill are hoping that skeptics will change their minds. Otherwise known as the Kerry-Boxer bill -- the Senate version of the Waxman-Markey bill that passed the House this summer -- the ...

Vice Admiral Dennis McGinn (Ret) On Global Warming & National Security--An Open Left Interview
Open Left - Front Page — This past week, the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee held three days of hearings on global warming (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3), with a wide range of panels.  While much of the testimony was simply an advancement of lines of debate that have been heard for over a decade, there were some relatively new developments, particularly in two panels on Wednesday , one dealing with adaptive strategies and thinking, the other dealing with the national security implications of global warming.  Arguably the most compelling and knowledgeable testimony and followup comments on the national security panel came from Vice ...
