Well, you can't say the Democrats don't have their sights set high. Two powerful House members introduced a bill Tuesday that would prohibit the approval of any new coal-fired power plant without major emissions controls. Under the proposal, neither the EPA or state governments could issue a permit for construction of a new plant unless the facility used control technology to capture and permanently sequester 85 percent of the plants carbon dioxide emissions. The legislation, proposed by Reps Ed Markey (D-Mass), chairman of the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, and Henry Waxman (D-Calif), chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, would essentially ban any new coal-fired power plant for the foreseeable future. More than 100 have been proposed throughout the country The proposed moratorium would last until the feds come up with a comprehensive regulatory program for global warming. "The alternative is senseless," said Waxman, "locking in decades of additional global warming emissions and requiring greater emissions reductions across the U.S. economy to compensate." So now might be a good time to start working on that sequestration technology.

Yeah, OK, we can be the change that we want to see in the world. But unless powerful people in powerful positions want to be that change as well, nothing's going to change.
So now, finally, there's a place where you can go for news and analysis of politics from an environmental perspective.
