I’m sure this doesn’t come as a shock, but the biggest climate bill out there, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, is under attack in a major way. Surprise! Polluters – utilities, coal companies, heavy industry, oil companies… – all want to get permits to continue to spew global warming pollution into the air for FREE! This is all in the name of “cost containment,” which is not at all the same thing as pocketbook protection.

Now, I know that this is a bad idea. If you read the CCAN blog, you probably know that this is a bad idea.
