Obama Sets Aside Curbing Greenhouse Gases in Talk with House Republicans. By Ben Geman, The Hill, January 29, 2010. "President Barack Obama avoided talking about mandatory greenhouse gas curbs that are deeply unpopular within the GOP caucus Friday at the House Republican retreat. Instead, Obama emphasized his support for 'clean coal' and nuclear power, issues more popular with the GOP, in talking about climate change legislation. Obama, echoing his State of the Union speech, is emphasizing common ground with Republicans as he seeks a bipartisan climate and energy deal that's an iffy election-year proposition. But in doing so, Obama and his advisers appear to be underplaying their support for cap-and-trade proposals that require reduction of emissions linked to global warming." Video, 86 min. Transcript.
