Bob Kerry Wants Commission on Energy and Climate
Published Wednesday, July 02, 2008 at 04:52 AM
According to Kerry’s plan, a group of non-partisan experts would advise and assist Congress in its efforts to develop a comprehensive, coherent national energy policy. It would also address greenhouse gas emissions in order to combat global climate change without damaging the economy. Kerry says, while global climate change is an environmental problem, the solutions to address it revolve around energy.
There is a large universe of relevant information, studies, and proposals and no shortage of differing opinions. The Commission would review all of this in order to create a legislative blueprint for an economy-wide energy policy that would also address global climate change. Kerry adds - American leaders didn't get the message in the 1970's and they didn't get it again in the 1980's when gasoline was rationed and prices soared. And we still are not getting the message even as oil prices are soaring and everyone is feeling the pain.
