The climate peacocks are a group of Senators who preen, strut, and profess great concern about the climate. "Like "deficit peacocks" who pretend to be hawkish on budgets but refuse any real solution, these "climate peacocks" claim to care about science, energy reform, and the environment, but have yet to find solutions to the threat of climate change." They're so concerned that they dare not let the Environmental Protection Agency regulate carbon, because Congress has to do the job. And they're so concerned that a carbon regulation bill won't be fair to their states that Congress had better not regulate carbon.
Senator Jeff Bingaman doesn't preen or strut. He's supposed to be a slow, careful, and methodical pragmatist. However, the energy bill he's been crafting has all the tailfeathers of a climate peacock. Leaked draft below the fold.
