Democrats in Congress on

DEMOCRATS
ELECTION 2008

  • Nearly all Congressional Democrats support cap-and-trade legislation on carbon emissions, but they disagree on many details
  • Party leadership supports a bill with limitations on carbon offsets (which allow U.S. companies to meet emissions reduction requirements by paying for emissions cuts in other countries)
  • Democrats representing labor, manufacturing, and agricultural interests want to allow more offsets to soften economic effects
