By only a handful of votes, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Waxman-Markey bill (H.R. 2454). The comprehensive global warming legislation would increase energy prices, decrease U.S. economic output, and destroy scores of domestic jobs just as we are try to crawl out of a recession. In early October, Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and John Kerry (D-MA) introduced a first draft of the Senate version of the global warming bill, dubbed the "Clean Energy Jobs and America Power Act." Although the draft failed to include many important details, the bill called for an even more stringent short-term reduction in carbon dioxide emissions than did the Waxman-Markey bill that narrowly passed the House in June.
