WASHINGTON — Republican Sens. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia and Richard Burr of North Carolina have introduced energy legislation focused on expanding the nation’s use of natural gas and nuclear power.
The Republican senators’ measure steers clear of proposals backed by many Democrats for a cap-and-trade provision that would cap carbon emissions and fine companies that go over set limits.
The Republicans’ bill is an alternative to a climate and energy bill by Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, that is currently making the rounds on Capitol Hill. Chambliss’ and Burr’s bill provides tax credits and taxpayer-financed support for nuclear plants, electric vehicles, natural gas vehicles and a variety of renewable energy sources.
