Senate Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) said Sunday that lawmakers could advance energy and climate legislation by adopting a step-by-step approach that eschews sweeping measures.
Alexander’s comments appear to indicate that he’s keeping an open mind about the climate and energy plan that Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) are crafting.
Their plan is expected to differ substantially from the “economy-wide” cap and trade bill the House approved last year that Alexander opposes, although it is nonetheless expected to be broad in scope.
Don't worry, I'm sure he'll come to his senses as soon as the tea partiers hear about this.
