Senate Democrats Unveil Aggressive Climate Bill

September 22, 2015 at 6:59 am ET By Taegan Goddard 11 Comments

Senate Democratic leaders “plan to unveil a measure intended to signal their full-throated support of President Obama’s aggressive climate change agenda to 2016 voters and to the rest of the world,” the New York Times reports.

“The Democrats hope that the bill, sponsored by Senator Maria Cantwell, of Washington, the top Democrat on the Senate Energy Committee, will demonstrate a new unity for the party on energy and climate change, and define Democrats’ approach to global warming policy in the coming years.”
