WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama urged lawmakers to put a price on carbon pollution in a climate and energy bill that is currently stalled in the Senate, the authors of the bill said after a White House meeting on Tuesday.
Senator Joe Lieberman, an independent who wrote the legislation with Democrat John Kerry, said previously-reluctant senators at the meeting said they would work with him and Kerry and expressed willingness to discuss "limited forms" of carbon pricing.
Putting a price on carbon means requiring companies to pay for the earth-warming carbon dioxide emissions they produce.
