Elana Schor has the details on Tuesday’s Senate Finance Committee hearing. She writes:

The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, part of the AFL-CIO, is testifying and did support the House climate bill that passed earlier this year. Another witness comes from Pacific Gas & Electric, a utility that quit the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to show its belief in the need to act on climate change.

The remaining three witnesses hail from the Nuclear Energy Institute, the American Council for Capital Formation — a clearinghouse of climate critics that has received more than $1.6 million from Exxon since 1998 — and the American Enterprise Institute, which has taken $2.5 million from Exxon since 1998 and offered cash to scientists who would dispute United Nations findings on climate.

Baucus has been making especially good noises lately, so this is a somewhat odd move.

The hearing will be Tuesday November 10th at 10am. Via the Senate Finance Committee Website, here are the witnesses:

Mr. Abraham Breehey, Director, Legislative Affairs, International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Shipbuilders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers, Department of Government Affairs, Fairfax, VA
