VOA News - US Climate Debate Plays Key Role in Global Fight to Protect Planet: "'the most significant part of the legislation is the requirement that all oil companies, electric utilities, large manufacturers have to submit an allowance for each ton of greenhouse gas emissions that they release in a given year. The U.S. is one of the world's biggest polluters. The legislation would try to curb that by requiring industries to cut emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases by 17 percent from the 2005 levels by 2020
The full House of Representatives and the Senate must still consider the bill. House members from the ruling Democratic Party have put it on a fast-track for debate this month or next."
