“It is disappointing that a minority of Senators has chosen to delay and stall rather than allowing us to consider the serious matter before the Senate--climate change. In order to have the opportunity to debate and vote on amendments, I support cloture on the Climate Security Act of 2008, S. 3036. The Climate Security Act is far from perfect, but it represents a serious effort to reduce greenhouse gas pollution, lessen our dependence on foreign oil, and spur new technologies and green job opportunities. By supporting cloture, we can begin to do the hard work of improving this legislation so that we can enact a workable, effective cap-and-trade program.”
