Don't let McCain and Lieberman hijack the global warming bill to subsidize nukes.

[http://act.credoaction.com/r/?r=519&id=287-572633-RBK5DN&t=8] click here to take actionJust yesterday, we learned that landmark global warming legislation is in danger of being hijacked by Senator John McCain. 


A few weeks ago, Senator McCain started making it known that he would support the "Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act" if specific nuclear subsidies were added.[http://act.credoaction.com/r/?r=523&id=287-572633-RBK5DN&t=9] 1

Now his friend and supporter Sen. Joe Lieberman has done just that—floated an amendment to the global warming bill that would take funds away from clean energy sources like wind and solar and earmark them for the nuclear power industry.[http://act.credoaction.com/r/?r=523&id=287-572633-RBK5DN&t=10] 2

[http://act.credoaction.com/r/?r=519&id=287-572633-RBK5DN&t=11] Tell your senator: Oppose the McCain-Lieberman nuclear power grab.

As it stands, the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act is already woefully inadequate to meet the challenges presented by global warming. It does not currently call for 80 percent carbon reductions by 2050. And it is likely to give away emissions permits to polluters rather than auctioning them off to generate proceeds for clean energy initiatives.

A weak bill is about to get much, much worse. Tell your senator that enough is enough. We can't let global warming legislation be hijacked by Sen. John McCain and turned into a vehicle for subsidizing the nuclear power industry.
