It is not an exaggeration to say that the team that President Obama appointed to promote his green agenda is nothing short of outstanding — a great combination of scientists and policy makers committed to building an energy economy that is efficient, clean and secure.

t r u t h o u t | Heated Arguments Begin Over Climate Change
The bill's sponsors also pointed to a new analysis by the environmental group, Natural Resources Defense Council, which found that the legislation could lower gas prices by reducing demand for oil as Americans shift to more energy-efficient cars, buildings and homes.
The Senate bill has the high-profile backing of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and former Vice President Al Gore. Gore, in a statement Monday, said, "While it's important that people change their light bulbs, it's even more important that we change the laws."
The bill, sponsored by Lieberman and Republican Sen. John Warner of Virginia, among others, would require about 2,100 major U.S. emitters - mostly coal-fired power plants, oil refineries and chemical plants - to pay for the right to emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Proceeds from selling or trading those permits could total over $6 trillion over the next 40 years, and would be reinvested in renewable energy and rebates to consumers.
