How many here know that an "Energy and Climate Change" bill now languishes in Congress?

And my Senator Feinstein is on the fence.

Action NOW could prevent the next BP mega disaster for the next generation.

June 16 (Bloomberg) -- The BP Plc oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is unlikely to create enough momentum to pass a comprehensive climate bill sought by President Barack Obama, say leading Senate Democrats.

Many Democrats don’t want to vote in this election year on whether to cap the greenhouse-gas emissions linked to climate change, saying they prefer to work in the coming months on legislation directly responding to the spill.

“The climate bill isn’t going to stop the oil leak,” said Senator Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat. “The first thing you have to do is stop the oil leak.”

Obama, in a speech to the nation last night, praised a climate plan passed by the House last year and said the U.S. “can’t afford not to change how we produce and use energy.” Still, he didn’t place direct pressure on the Senate to follow the House’s lead and didn’t repeat his call earlier this month to put “a price on carbon pollution.”

And several other Democrats have not yet committed.

Yet, we hear very little about it here or in the MSM.

So, please, find out where your Congress Critters stand on this legislation, and give them a kick in the ass if you need to.

TIA.

2. It's been there since Nixon created the EPA and it's one of those bills congress gives lip

service to after a corporate screw up or when gas prices go up for no reason, then after all is said and done back on the back burner it goes. At best we get cars that get higher gas mileage every 10 to 20 years then moth ball the bill time till the next oil event happens.

4. It's not gonna happen without congress, and congress ain't gonna do it unless we kick their ass.

so we can complain and throw out hands up in the air, or we can actually do something about it.
