The talks center on combining a cap-and-trade program with incentives to spur the construction of a new generation of nuclear power plants and provisions to open up more of the Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas drilling.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar told reporters Tuesday that he would be working with Kerry and Graham on the production components that will be part of the bill.
