Another Democrat making unpleasant noises:

Begich was asked about cap-and-trade legislation to deal with climate change, and said he thought that didn’t have as much momentum in Congress as it did last year. Instead, he said he would focus on good energy legislation, and noted that such a bill would address the same issues as a climate bill — developing new energy sources and new energy production technology, and finding more efficient means of delivering energy, would in effect help to curb emissions.

“If you get into that (climate change) debate, what’s the goal? Energy,” Begich said. “I think that’s the better use of our time.”
