Why the Going is Tough for High-Cost Legislation on Climate Change
Submitted by Amy Kaleita, Ph.D on 7.20.2010
For those favoring legislation on climate change, these should be the best of times. The Democrats, typically the party of the greens, are in control at the federal level. The BP disaster in the Gulf might, under other circumstances, be a motivator for major changes to rules affecting oil drilling and consumption. Several investigative committees have largely cleared the scientists involved in last November’s “Climategate” scandal of any major wrongdoing. But none of that is translating into any movement on climate policy, and that scandal is part of the reason.
