Wyoming senators help defeat climate change bill
| June 7, 2008 |  View for printing |
Wyoming's Republican senators helped defeat a cap-and-trade global warming bill this week in the U.S. Senate, putting off the possibility of any action until 2009.
Sens. John Barrasso and Mike Enzi both voiced forceful opposition to the measure, arguing it would have been devastating for Wyoming's economy and for its residents.
Senate Republicans on Friday blocked the bipartisan bill that would have required major reductions in greenhouse gases, pushing debate over what some consider the world's most pressing environmental crisis to next year, for a new Congress and president.
