Renewed effort for climate change legislation focus of White House meeting

The President called a group of Senators to the White House for a discussion on energy and climate change. The bi-partisan meeting is an attempt to gather momentum to move forward on legislation. The House passed a climate change bill last year, but the issue has been stalled in the Senate. Like the House bill, the central component of the Senate climate change legislation is cap and trade. The plan puts pollution limits on dirty industries and allows those whose emissions fall below the limits to sell, or trade, their credits. The idea is to gradually implement stricter regulations over time, which would decrease pollution. Three senators in particular are being seen as essential to the meeting at the White House. That's Democrat John Kerry, Republican Lindsay Graham and Independent Joe Lieberman. They have been working behind the scenes on a new, bi-partisan climate change bill.
