What is really interesting here is that it puts Feinstein in a bit of a conflict with Barbara Boxer, her fellow Democrat from California.
Boxer has been leading the way on the Cap & Trade legislation, and trying to keep support through the recent turmoils:
Senator Boxer (D-CA), the Chair of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, introduced the Chairman’s Mark of The Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act (S. 1733) on October 23, 2009. This expanded draft of the Kerry-Boxer bill released in September fills in the details on the distribution of greenhouse gas emission allowances and other provisions, but continues to have placeholders for important issues such as international trade measures and carbon market oversight. Like the early draft, the Chairman’s Mark draws heavily from the climate provisions of the American Clean Energy and Security Act (Waxman-Markey bill) passed by the House of Representatives on June 26, 2009.
It seems to me that the UN and especially those from Europe want to see us use cap and trade more than anyone else. I wonder why that is.
My speculation is that it perceives America as the great polluter (that's probably true), and the trade winds blow the pollution from us to them. Europe wants us to do something; cap & trade or something else.

From San Francisco to North Dakota, Democrats were rocked to their core by the loss of the late Edward Kennedy's Massachusetts Senate seat ... Senate loss sends shock waves through Dems
good, the USA never needed the cap and tax bill in the 1st place.
