Doyle expresses support for national cap-and-trade approach to carbon emissions
From a report by David M. Drucker on WisPolitics.com:
Gov. Jim Doyle Tuesday morning voiced his support for a national cap-and-trade system to help offset carbon emissions and reduce their effects on climate change.
Doyle, speaking during a news conference following a symposium on climate change held this morning on Capitol Hill, said he hopes to incorporate the work he’s done with other Midwestern governors into a federal solution. Doyle has been working with Govs. Jennifer Granholm of Michigan, Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and others on implementing a regional cap-and-trade system.
“I hope that as Congress now moves forward with this, that the work that we have done at the state levels … that we will be able to share what we have been doing with Congress,” Doyle said. “We are very hopeful that Congress will act. This is something that we have been seeking to do in the Midwest.”
