Regarding the Kerry-Boxer "Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act"
Statement on behalf of Stephen L. Miller, President and CEO of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE), in response to the Kerry–Boxer, “Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act:"
"ACCCE supports the adoption of a mandatory federal program to reduce greenhouse gases and recognizes that a cap-and-trade program is one alternative for achieving this goal. The Kerry-Boxer bill (S. 1733), reported by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee today, contains important incentives for new technologies, including carbon capture and storage. Like many other groups, we will continue to seek responsible changes to the bill. These changes include guaranteed protection for electricity consumers; adjustments to ensure emission reduction targets and timetables are reasonable; provisions to avoid conflict with a federal cap-and-trade program; and establishment of a legal, regulatory, and long-term liability framework to safely store CO2.”
What do you propose as "reasonable" targets and timetables?
