According to the Washington Times the "surprise endorsement of climate-change legislation" by Sen. Lindsey Graham "has jump-started the languishing proposal but also has raised the prospect that it will include two major items that environmentalists dislike: more nuclear power and more offshore oil drilling." The Times notes that in a New York Times op-ed published Sunday, Graham "joined with" Sen. John Kerry, "the chamber's leading Democratic advocate of climate legislation, to promote a bipartisan plan to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. ... Analysts from the political left and right expressed optimism that the unexpected alliance will improve the bill's chances of passage."
