Topic: climate legislation

The American Materials Manufacturing Alliance makes misleading arguments in letter to Senators Kerry and Lieberman, calling for EPA to redo its modeling of the American Power Act.

Senate climate legislation still needed.

A new WRI report looks at what greenhouse gas emissions reductions could be achieved through federal and state regulations that are already in place.

This figure depicts the emissions under the three federal regulatory scenarios by sector or category of sources through 2030. The bars across the back represent the business-as-usual emissions.

A bill that strips the EPA of its authority or that sets a weak cap on greenhouse gas emissions could do more harm than good.

The Senate must consider several important issues before designing an electric power-only emissions trading program.

PECPA is unlikely to achieve estimated future emissions reductions.

This document provides a detailed summary of the greenhouse gas (GHG) offset provisions in the American Power Act, which was introduced by Senators Kerry and Lieberman on May 11, 2010.[^1]

This analysis provides an assessment of reductions in net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions relative to total U.S. emissions that could be achieved by pollution reduction proposals currently under consideration in the 111th Congress. A full description of the methods and assumptions behind this analysis can be found in the Appendix of the PDF document.

This chart presents total net greenhouse gas reductions achieved by the APA, the CLEARA and the ACESA relative to U.S. historical and projected emissions under the three reduction scenarios..
