in a diary, knowing how much work we all put into defeating Lieberman, but it is better than Bingamans bill as it would cut emissions which now are increasing by 1 percent a year:

cutting by 2 percent a year through mid-century.

Sens. McCain, R-Ariz., Obama, D-Ill., and Lieberman, I-Conn., are calling for mandatory caps on greenhouse emissions for power plants, industry and oil refineries. Their plan would require releases of heat-trapping gases to return to 2004 levels by 2012 and to 1990 levels by 2020.

Bingamans takes a more leisurely approach gettin us there by 2030.

I think we should call and support it, even though we don't like Lieberman, as its  better than the other one.

Adding 11% to our utility bills by 2020 seems not a huge deal, (especially when you consider the alternative!)
