Congress enters new phase of global climate change deliberations

"We are moving forward, but not as quickly as we'd like. But we are determined to get it right," he said of his committee's efforts. One question is whether a carbon cap-and-trade program would use State Implementation Plans, New Source Review, or an entirely new approach, Dingell said.

"We're looking at carbon capture and storage, new technologies, and other components to continue using coal in an environmentally proper way, since the United States is, in fact, the 'Saudi Arabia of coal.' Any plan also must include judicious use of our domestic natural gas resources. It is my hope that we can adopt legislation to address all these problems before the end of this year," he said.
