"Obama Stresses Need for Price on Carbon as Dems Look to Compromise" [1]

"Key Senate Democrats offered today to scale back their ambitious efforts to cap greenhouse gas emissions but stressed that they and President Obama remain committed to putting a price on carbon this year.

Obama told a bipartisan group of senators he is unwilling to give up on his goal of pricing carbon as a way to curb emissions."

Josh Voorhees and Robin Bravender report for Greenwire June 29, 2010. [2]
