EDF Statement on New Energy and Climate Legislation from Senator Lugar
(Washington, DC — June 7, 2010) Environmental Defense Fund today welcomed a new clean energy proposal from Republican Senator Richard Lugar.
“Senator Lugar’s constructive engagement is a welcome sign of bipartisan momentum for energy and climate legislation,” said EDF President Fred Krupp. “While we do not agree with everything in his proposal, we look forward to working with Senator Lugar to incorporate his best ideas into the broader climate and energy bill moving to the Senate floor this summer. With a billion dollars a day going overseas for imported oil and millions of gallons spilled into the Gulf, we strongly support a comprehensive approach to these issues.”
