I've heard from sources that Sen. Webb is "leaning against" supporting the Climate Security Act. Apparently Sen. Webb wants to protect coal interests like the Wise County coal-fired power plant, which a Virginia State Corporation Commission analysis shows would result in a net loss statewide of 1,474 jobs.
Hard as it is for me to believe, I'm told there's a real chance Sen. Webb could vote against Democratic leadership and with Sen. James "Global Warming is a Hoax" Inhofe on this bill. (That is, if the Roadblock Republicans ever let it come up for a vote in the first place.)
A vote on continuing debate on the bill is expected to happen by Friday morning at the latest. If you haven't already, please take a few minutes to call Sen. Webb right now at (202) 224-4024 to ask him to strengthen and pass the Climate Security Act.
