Update: Preliminary Senate Speeches Continue

Elizabeth ThompsonThis post is by Elizabeth Thompson, legislative director at Environmental Defense Fund.

This afternoon, the Senate approved a procedural motion that forces the Senate to take up the Climate Security Act. But the Senate is the Senate, and people who are set on ignoring the urgent need to act are using Senate procedures to slow down progress.

The speeches continue. We anticipate that the debate about the bill itself will start Wednesday or Thursday.
