Global Warming: Remember the promise that green jobs would flourish in California? Well, here's the reality: The cost of going green is actually lost jobs.

When Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, Californians were told that their state would become a font of green jobs churned out by the growing green economy.
Graham: Draft May Not Happen Before Easter -- Energy Section
When asked if the trio, which also includes Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Joe Lieberman, I/D-Conn., would have a draft bill or outline by Easter break, which goes for two weeks beginning March 29, Graham replied: "Sooner rather than later. I don't know if we can get it done that soon. But hopefully by the end of the month." If a draft isn't announced by the break, then it could be delayed until mid-April.

The possible delay may be a sign that garnering support for a comprehensive bill that includes a cap on emissions is growing more difficult as more senators weigh in on the process. When reporters today asked Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, whether she could support a sector-by-sector cap on emissions -- something that is reportedly included in the trio's draft -- Collins was noncommittal: "Their approach seems to be a moving target... I'm not sure what they're going to finally settle on."
