Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) <a href="http://snowe.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressRoom.PressReleases&#38;ContentRecord_id=0d741d1b-802a-23ad-4ba4-0b17cb2ec735&#38;Region_id=&#38;Issue_id=">announced her support</a> for S. 3036, saying it &#8220;mirrors closely&#8221; the Kerry-Snowe Global Reduction Act (<a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:s.00485:">S. 485</a>), which calls for a 65 percent reduction from 2000 levels of greenhouse gases by 2050. Snowe also noted that language from the Feinstein-Snowe Emission Allowance Market Transparency Act (<a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:s.02423:">S. 2423</a>) was included in the manager&#8217;s mark.</p> <p>Unlike Lieberman-Warner, Kerry-Snowe also sets a goal of achieving a greenhouse gas stabilization target of 450 ppm, and calls for the establishment of vehicle emissions standards. In Snowe&#8217;s press release, she states that Lieberman-Warner &#8220;would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 66 percent by 2050,&#8221; although <a href="http://www.nrdc.org/legislation/factsheets/leg_07121101A.pdf"><span class="caps">NRDC</span> analysis of the bill</a> finds that Lieberman-Warner would only achieve reductions between 60 to 65 percent from 2000 levels.</p> Fri, 23 May 2008 09:09:00 -0500 urn:uuid:8d2e3dcc-8ab9-4fca-8868-db0261ca9d40 The Cunctator http://www.hillheat.com/articles/2008/05/23/snowe-announces-support-for-lieberman-warner Legislation Lieberman-Warner S 2191 cap and trade S 3036 S 485 S 2423 http://www.hillheat.com/articles/trackback/2153
