Pelosi Statement on Legislation Addressing Energy Independence and Global Warming

Washington, D.C. - Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on legislation addressing energy independence and global warming:

'Any legislation that comes to the House floor must increase our energy independence, reduce global warming, invest in new technologies to achieve these goals and create good jobs in America.

'Any proposal that affects California's landmark efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or eliminate the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions will not have my support.'
