A Boston Globe article “Election energizes climate bill talks” had some interesting quotes from Senator Kerry and US Chamber of Commerce.
Kerry is quoted as saying “Unlike health care, we start out with a bipartisan issue where a progressive senator from Massachusetts and a conservative from South Carolina have already struck an alliance,’’ Kerry said, referring to himself and Graham. “We never had that on health care. Lindsey Graham and I even had a great meeting with the US Chamber of Commerce this week to get them engaged. What’s that tell you?”
The article had this about the Chamber’s position.
“Although the chamber will make no commitment until a bill is unveiled, its vice president for government affairs, Bruce Josten, said that “generally we were in synch” because Kerry, Graham, and Lieberman were proposing an array of incentives for developing energy resources that would coincide with carbon emissions reductions. Josten said it was the first time he had met with Kerry to discuss climate change.”
Of course there are a lot of potential devils in the details of these incentives but it will be interesting to see where this leads.
