10 Democartic Representatives from coal-dependent states send a letter to Obama sharing that they will not support the Waxman-Markey climate and energy bill. Afterall, it’s not nice to Big Coal…

The climate bill that was passed by the House of Representatives earlier this month is getting wide support and attention. However, activist groups who have taken a closer look at the bill are wondering if it’s a climate bill addressing global climate change or a climate bill addressing the concerns of the coal and oil industry. Public Citizen, a national, non-profit, public interest organization, states that the bill “will prove a boon to the coal and oil industries, will fail to protect consumers and may very well not even curb global warming.”
