Lieberman did what for McCain?

Landmark global warming legislation is in danger of being hijacked by Senator John McCain.

Senator McCain has made it known that he would support the "Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act" if specific nuclear subsidies were added.1



Now his friend and supporter Sen. Joe Lieberman has done just that -- floated an amendment to the global warming bill2 that would take funds away from clean energy sources like wind and solar and earmark them for the nuclear power industry.

As it stands, the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act is already woefully inadequate to meet the challenges presented by global warming. It does not currently call for 80 percent carbon reductions by 2050. And it is likely to give away emissions permits to polluters rather than auctioning them off to generate proceeds for clean energy initiatives.

An already weak bill is about to get much, much worse. Tell your senator that enough is enough. We can't let global warming legislation be hijacked by Sen. John McCain and turned into a vehicle for subsidizing the nuclear power industry.
