Global warming bill to move ahead Monday | Washington Examiner

Waxman was unable to pass the bill out of a smaller global warming subcommittee this month because many of the members of that panel are from states that rely on coal-fired plants for electricity and manufacturing plants for jobs. Waxman opted to bypass the subcommittee.

One of the holdouts was Rep. Gene Green, D-Texas, who told Waxman he wanted 5 percent of the permits to be designated for oil and gas production, 3 percent more than Waxman has allotted. Green said he would fight for more allowances but was satisfied for now with the lower number.

In the Senate, very little is happening with energy reform.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said that was because so far there is not enough support.
