Bizav associations criticize Senate climate-change bill
A climate bill introduced in the Senate by Sens.

A climate bill introduced in the Senate by Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) differs from a similar bill narrowly passed by the House of Representatives in June in that it would require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator to set greenhouse gas emission standards for new aircraft and new aircraft engines.

S.1733, the “Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act,” seeks to curb the effects of climate change by capping greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions nationwide, including GHG from new aircraft and new engines used in aircraft, by Dec. 31, 2012.
