Some big news to kick off the day as we continue to see climate legislation progress through the Senate, thanks to serious work from the Kerry-Graham-Lieberman trio. Also a pretty cool link from the Organize to be Heard Challenge. Those Michiganders were all over the place in the media.
It is really an exciting time to be working on clean energy and climate legislation. Now, let’s get it passed.
- In that effort, the president will meet with the Senate trio today, to talk about the legislation. Also present will be several committee chairs that could affect a bill.

- The EPA defends capping greenhouse gases. Said Administrator Lisa Jackson: “At no point in our history has any problem been solved by waiting another year to act.”
- The Washington Post dishes another attack on youth engagement in climate change issues, using the same poll we took a look at last week.
