The tri-partisan climate bill was expected to be unveiled in Congress yesterday after months of work, debate, and re-work. However, due to mixed signals from the White House and Senate majority leader Harry Reid, the bill has been postponed pending immigration reform. Members of Congress, including a co-writer of the bill, are infuriated by this delay and blame President Obama and Reid for side-stepping the pressing climate issue in order to win Latino votes in November’s midterm election. Sen. John Kerry, a major proponent of the climate bill, feels that the window of opportunity for this bill is closing and that action is needed soon. If passed, this bill will cut greenhouse emissions by 17% in 2020 compared to 2005 levels. Heavy polluters like the cement and steel industries can expect to see emissions caps by 2016.
