The US Climate Action Partnership

In a statement, the 10 U.S.-based companies and four environmental groups called for mandatory reductions of greenhouse gas emissions, including those from power plants, transportation and buildings. Those companies are:

Alcoa
BP America
Caterpillar
DuPont
General Electric
Lehman Brothers
Duke Energy
FPL Group
PG&E
PNM Resources

There must be a reasoned and serious debate about the solutions," the group stated. "But debate cannot substitute for action. We hope that the consensus we have reached through our unique partnership provides further impetus toward the creation of sensible and effective policies to address global climate change."

Wow- This is really big stuff, not a PR campaign- Having seen first hand the warming in Europe this fall and through my travels in the states- this climate change is the real deal- Carbon emmissions have to be capped now.
