Description
"A pair of Senate hearings last week focused on jobs, national security, and carbon dioxide as senators continued to debate provisions in a House-passed bill on climate change. Six committees have jurisdiction over the bill, and two of them dug deeper into issues related to climate change on July 21.
Senate Environment & Public Works Committee Chairman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) began her committee’s hearing on jobs by stressing climate-change legislation’s potential to develop new clean technologies and create millions of jobs. The committee heard from state and local leaders who have created agencies to support new industries and generate so-called green jobs."
