E&ETV

As the Lieberman-Warner climate bill makes its way through the Senate
Environment and Public Works Committee, which aspects of the bill will
be contested and require compromise? During today's OnPoint, Margo Thorning,
senior vice president and chief economist at the American Council for
Capital Formation, explains why she believes this bill does not account
for the economic security of the United States. She says a carbon tax
would be a better option, economically, for the United States. Thorning
also discusses the upcoming international climate talks in Bali, saying
the United States should stay focused on the "major economies"
plan established last month. She also explains why binding targets would
not work and gives her take on the success of the Kyoto Protocol.
