Peterson: Climate bill show will go on | Agweek | Midwest farm news and ranch news

In a speech by telephone from Minnesota, Peterson told the American Sugar Alliance that after the Supreme Court ruled that EPA must regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, “It’s unrealistic to think that nothing will happen.”

The Supreme Court ruling, he said, had motivated him to get the House climate change bill “into the shape we can live with.” In the Senate, he said, “Our bill will be in the minimum. If a bill comes out, it will be better.” The House-passed bill would stop EPA from analyzing the impact of U.S. ethanol production on land use in other countries for five years, and Peterson noted that with congressional action, “at least we’ll have a seat at the table.”
