Update – Sept 30, 2009

Download the updated version of the “Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act“

Boxer, Kerry and nine other supporting Senators released the updated version of the (now 821 page)  climate change bill – the “Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act.”

According to this New York Times article, the release of the bill was accomplished in the midst of a “campaign-style rally.” The article also noted that while retaining the same requirements for emissions reductions as described in yesterday’s post (below), as well as maintaining structurally the same means and methods for meeting those reductions, the bill authors have now chosen to abandon the use of the term “cap and trade.” The program will now apparently be referred to as the  “Pollution Reduction and Investment” program.
