Climate change plan has setback in energy bill (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/21/AR2005062100592_pf.html)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A key Republican refused to back a plan by Senate Democrats to slow U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, casting doubt on whether the Senate can muster enough votes on Tuesday to approve a climate change measure.

As part of its debate of a broad bill to increase domestic energy supplies, the Senate is expected to consider proposals to reduce U.S. industries' emissions of carbon dioxide, a heat-trapping gas linked to global warming.

Pete Domenici of New Mexico, Republican chairman of the Senate Energy Committee, said last week he might co-sponsor Democrat Jeff Bingaman's plan to slow the growth of U.S. carbon emissions with an emissions trading program beginning in 2010.

But late Monday night, Domenici announced in a brief statement that he would not support the measure.

It is funny that while the Senators try reducing CO2 emissions here,European nations who have signed the "6 years longer delay" Kyoto Treaty are Failing to keep with the targeted reductions.:hahaha:

Yes the very same people who bash America for refusing to sign the treaty.
