S.Res. 212

A resolution to express the sense of the Senate relating to legislation to curb global warming.

Expresses the sense of the Senate that any comprehensive, mandatory greenhouse gas emissions reduction program enacted by Congress should include: (1) determinations of the extent to which other countries that are major contributors of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations have established programs that are comparable in the effectiveness to the U.S. program; (2) consequences, in the form of a review of the program or change to other U.S. policies, if such other countries' programs are found to be less effective; (3) determinations relating to whether the U.S. program is increasing the rate of poverty or unemployment in the United States and, if so, a process to review the program; and (4) effective incentives for private entities that sell electricity to increase the percentage of sales generated by clean energy sources.

Referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works. (text of measure as introduced: CR S6408)
