The Waxman-Markey Climate Bill that is currently going through the Senate is the wrong Bill. It's not sufficient for the US to play its fair and adequate role in avoiding dangerous climate change and will allow new coal-fired power plants to be built up until 2020. It would also strip the President and the EPA of their existing authority to regulate coal-fired power plants under the Clean Air Act. We chew over the options for enhanced US action on climate change with Earthbeat Radioâs Daphne Wysham.
