At a press conference on Monday, Rep. Mike Doyle (D) PA-14, indicated he will support the American Climate and Energy Security Act when it comes up for a vote on Friday.

Mr. Doyle said "In short, this bill has been carefully drafted to reduce global warming while protecting consumers and creating jobs in the USA, not killing them."

The legislation is supported by the Repower America Campaign and the United States Climate Action Partnership, which includes Alcoa, BP America, Caterpillar, Dow, Duke Energy, DuPont, Elelon, Ford, GE, GM, Johnson & Johnson, NRG Energy, Shell, PG&E and Siemens.

Former Vice President Al Gore will host a national conference call tonight at 8:00 PM EDT to talk about the historic moment the nation faces in possibly enacting energy independence and global climate change legislation in the U.S. this year.
