What?
Among other questions, we'll ask:
Can the Democrats pass the Kerry-Lieberman bill in 2010? What's the strategy for bringing uncommitted Senators on-board?
What will the total emissions reductions be if the bill is implemented?
Industries will be regulated very differently from each other in the bill - why is comprehensive legislation still necessary?
What is the state of play on distributing free emissions allocations through the bill, which could be worth hundreds of billions of dollars over the course of the legislation?
Why are pricing fees for emissions preferred to an economy-wide emissions cap?
How does the bill address concerns over economic impacts of climate legislation?
How do nuclear energy policies and incentive differ from those in the House bill?
