WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A scaled-back climate change bill that focuses largely on mandating carbon emissions reductions on electric power utilities has been drafted by U.S. Senators John Kerry and Joseph Lieberman in the hopes of winning Senate passage in coming weeks.
The draft bill, which was obtained by Reuters, could still change. Also, it has not yet been decided whether the Kerry-Lieberman proposal will be included in a larger energy and environment bill that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wants the Senate to debate later this month, according to one leadership aide.
