Senators Kerry and Lieberman Introduce American Energy Act

Senators Kerry (D) and Lieberman (I) announced on Wednesday, May 12 the 987-page American Energy Act without Senator Graham (R). With the specifics of the bill released, EPA can begin to model its impacts, a process that may take several weeks. Assuming the bill gets cleared for Senate action, it won't be able to muster the required 60 votes for consideration without some Republican support. However, promoters of clean tech should not ignore this legislation. The American Energy Act is the new marker for setting a price on carbon and advancing the clean energy sector. It will likely serve as a starting point for legislative action next year.
