US Congress to Commence Landmark Climate Change Hearings

摘要

Congressional Democrats today begin a month-long march to pass a carbon trading bill in an effort to create a US carbon trading market by 2012, a key Obama administration goal. About 70 to 80 witnesses are scheduled to give testimony this week at the mammoth hearings scheduled by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which hopes to pass legislation to the floor of the House of Representatives by the end of May.
