Does Klobuchar Support the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act?
Judging from the fact that she was there as it was announced and told me at the DFL Founders Day Dinner that she had been working every night to get the bill done I’d say it’s nearly 100% certain that Senator Klobuchar will vote for cloture and final passage on the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act or pretty much any serious climate bill. She is in fact a key player in writing the bill. So the question is will she cave to pressure from corporate polluters or continue to stand up for Minnesota and fight for a strong bill. So far it seems to be a mixed bag. Where does she stand on key issues? As stated before, she is heavily involved in the writing of the bill, so everything that’s in there should be stuff she’s behind. But the legislative process will require some compromises and it’s important to know where she stands on some issues that will be dealt with later on. Coal: Last month she signed onto a letter that was called a “coal wish-list.” It supports measures to sink billion
