Legislation would put limits on plant emissions
WASHINGTON
“The Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act of 2007″ would cap greenhouse-gas emissions of the electric power, industrial, transportation, and commercial sectors at 2004 levels by 2012 and reduce them to one-third that level by 2050.
Similar bills, introduced by Sens. Joe Lieberman, an Independent from Connecticut, and John McCain, R-Ariz., in 2003 and 2005 have failed to pass.
