The American Bar Association is formally backing the cap-and-trade proposal currently in the Senate.

As long as there is complicated legislation in the hopper, the ABA is pretty much agnostic about the details. It supports a cap-and-trade scheme, or a carbon tax, or emissions trading. It wants “broad coverage of various sectors of the economy,” encompassing fuel economy, renewable energy, clean coal, and more. It wants state programs wrapped into a bigger–and presumably more complicated — federal climate — change agenda.
