Boxer and Pelosi:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Barbara Boxer — Bay Area Democrats with similar political views — are on opposite sides.
Pelosi used to be an ardent foe of nuclear power but now holds a different view. “I think it has to be on the table,” she said.
Boxer, head of the Senate committee that will take the lead in writing global warming legislation, said that turning from fossil fuels to nuclear power was “trading one problem for another.”
Boxer:
“Let people stand up and vote no against curbing greenhouse gases,'’ Boxer, D-Calif., and chair of the Environment and Public Works Committee, said today in a speech to the National Press Club. “This will be a major issue in the next election. Elections have consequences. This issue isn’t going away.'’
“Climate change, other than the war in Iraq … is the most important thing we can work on,” Reid said last week.
Reid:
“I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense and _ you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows _ (know) this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday,” said Reid, D-Nev.
Feinstein:
Senator Diane Feinstein issued a statement saying “I believe this will re-ignite the dormant effort to pass common-sense gun regulations in this nation”.
Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., told D’Agostino, “My vote depends on whether I think this is a new warhead.”
