Analysis of Climate/Energy Bill

An AP analysis of the climate/energy bill — passed by the House on Friday but still requiring Senate passage — suggests it's more likely to result in job shifts than just job losses, as some critics content. (Details of the bill.)

It'll definitely affect what we do and how we do it a decade from now, the analysis concludes.

If the bill passes (Obama is sure to sign it), and even if watered down, it'll affect heating and cooling of homes (you'll pay more), cars (they'll get smaller and more will be electric) and jobs (more in the green sector).
