United States Environmental Protection Agency's Analysis of Senate Bill S.1766 in the 110th Congress, the Low Carbon Economy Act

I'm going to read it this weekend, I'll follow up on Monday.

From the EPA:

EPA assesses the economic and environmental effects of potential policies to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, employing an array of modeling tools and data.

Below is a list of completed analyses:

The Low Carbon Economy Act of 2007 (S.1766) is designed to reduce U.S. emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the production and use of energy. The request to analyze S.1766 from Senators Bingaman and Specter has two main parts: 1) analyze historic and projected global GHG concentrations, and 2) analyze the economic impacts of S.1766.
