A Strong Pro-Environment Message to John Dingell and Boucher

This letter sent by Henry Waxman and cosigned by eleven other Democrats on the energy committee sent a signal that they mean business on enacting a green energy bill. The pre-emption provision has definitely got to be dropped - but the letter also identifies another harmful measure in the draft bill that's got to go: subsidies to coal-based liquid fuels. It also urges good provisions to be added.

Even somebody like the odious Al Wynn signed this letter.

It sure would have been nice to see Jane Harman as a signatory on that letter. She wasn't one - why the heck not?
