The Colorado Air Pollution Control Division rejected calls to keep CO2 emission in check at the Valmont coal-fired power plant in Boulder. Are there any limits on carbon in Colorado?

Sen. Graham may be a conservative, but he is not a moron. He knew full well the right-wing lunacy that would be unleashed by his willingness to compromise to pass carbon cap legislation.

Experts estimate that between a third and half of all our defense forces are engaged, one way or the other, in protecting the flow of world oil supplies for ourselves and our allies.

The bill as it currently stands is stronger than the American Clean Energy and Security Act in several crucial ways, but it has a treacherous gauntlet to run before reaching the President's desk.

The concept of "energy sprawl," now associated with such a distorted picture of the impacts of wind, solar, coal and nuclear technologies, adds nothing but confusion and false impressions to the climate debate.

President Obama and Congress must make sure that U.S. climate policy efforts encourage other countries to reduce their carbon emissions and spur global demand for U.S. clean energy technologies.

The New York State Senate and Assembly rose above petty politics last week to pass legislation on climate and energy, setting a precedent for bipartisanship and a sensible cap and trade system.
