After the discussion draft that released in late March, the Waxman-Markey bill have reached a new milestone. Chairman Henry A. Waxman and Subcommittee Chairman Edward J. Markey introduced "H.R. 2454, The American Clean Energy and Security Act." The Energy and Commerce Committee will begin markup of the bill on Monday, May 18, 2009, at 1:00 p.m., and will complete consideration before the Memorial Day recess.

"This bill marks the dawn of the clean energy age," said Subcommittee Chairman Markey.  "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to revive our economy and create millions of good-paying clean energy jobs.  After months of hearings and discussions with my colleagues, I am pleased that we have produced a bill that has widespread support from all regions of the country."
