PG&E CEO Peter Darber, appearing on CNN this morning in a piece about the Chamber of Commerce, commented on his reasoning for supporting clean energy legislation. “Sooner or later there will be controls on carbon,” he said. “The point I make is the sooner you start to work on a big problem, the less disruptive it is to a company, to an industry to consumers, and the less expensive it is. So let’s get on with it.”

CNN’s Felicia Taylor also mentions Apple, Nike, Exelon and PNM Resources, and cites the correct 300,000 figure for the Chamber’s membership. She concludes: “Some environmentalists think this improves the chances of a climate bill passing through Congress since it could suggest big business opposition is now weakening.”
