This was a big week for climate in the U.S. Senate. The Kerry-Boxer bill passed out of the Environment and Public Works (EPW) committee, Senators Kerry (D-MA), Graham (R-SC) and Lieberman (I-CT) announced that they will be working on a "dual track" climate bill with help from the Obama Administration. Next steps are somewhat uncertain, but last week certainly hastened the slow steady momentum of the Senate climate process.
