Compromised and unrecognizable at its time of death, the bill was a hideous deformation of its former self. Perhaps sifting through the autopsy report will save the life of the next climate bill.

Today's oil spill news is dominated by Obama's Oval Office speech, but the highlight for me was a quiet update by the head of NOAA yesterday.

The Sierra Club is a marquee name that has indeed gone for the green: cash. Environmental activists should carefully examine the way in which the organization is operating.

At least 30 million acres of America's forests could be cut down and used for fuel at US power plants if renewable fuels and biomass provisions of current Congressional climate and energy proposals aren't radically revised.

As with the Waxman-Markey bill, there is now some confusing commentary in the press and blogosphere about the allocation of allowances in the new Senate proposal -- the American Power Act of 2010.

I am glad that President Obama announced that he would appoint an independent commission to look at the causes of the blow out. But it is not enough.

The Kerry-Lieberman climate bill was finally introduced last week as the "American Power Act." For the previous 10 months, it was the unicorn of climate bills.

Some politicians and environmental organizations are using the Gulf Coast tragedy to push for passage of this flawed bill. To hear their arguments, you'd think the bill adds important safeguards and limits to offshore drilling.

Here's an early thumbnail sketch of some of who's getting what in the Kerry-Lieberman (and perhaps Graham) bill.

At this point in our nation's history, here's what's most important: Kerry-Lieberman understands that America needs to be competitive in the global clean energy economy.
