Despite losing a key Republican backer and the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Senator John Kerry (D-MA) said that the climate bill will be unveiled "very, very soon."
BusinessGreen's James Murray reported today, "Speaking at a green jobs conference, the Senator, who has led the development of the draft bill alongside independent Senator and Republican Lindsey Graham, said that the bill was on the verge of being launched and would command support from a 'unique coalition,' including many of the energy companies and carbon intensive firms covered by the proposed bill."
Kerry also said that Graham would restore his support for the bill.
Murray reported that "Kerry told reporters that Graham 'is standing by the work product and he is standing by the bill,' adding that the legislation would also have the public support of the chief executives at some of America's largest and most carbon intensive businesses."
