After its introduction nearly a month ago, the Boxer-Kerry “Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act” (S.1733) is moving through the Senate Environment and Public Work (EPW) Committee. Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-CA) released her Chairman’s Mark of the bill on Friday, Oct. 23rd. The new 925-page revised legislation filled in many of the blank spaces included in the bill as introduced, most notably how valuable emissions allowances will be distributed. 1Sky’s analysis of the chairman’s mark including graphs reflecting the allocations will be available by tomorrow. In the meantime, we have national calls to action underway driving communications to the Senate and President Obama at http://www.1sky.org/act-now
