For many weeks I've been wondering where the passion is from Kossacks, from the President, and from myself is with regard to pushing for a comprehensive climate bill to be passed this year. The intensity around this issue stands in stark contrast to the energy around healthcare reform. I, and many Kossacks, followed intently the twists and turns of the healthcare debate, and many of us made many angry and supportive phone calls when different congressional players suggested different avenues of going about (or squashing) HCR. Also, there were huge and violent debates about the issue (remember last summer?), and as usual, lots of lies from industry and conservatives.
Below the fold I have listed a few guesses as to why things are quieter on the climate bill side of things, and why that's not necessarily a bad thing. I've also detailed the reasons why we will pass a damned climate bill this year!
