They got Virginia Republican Warner's attention when business leaders like GE CEO Jeff Immelt came out in favor of mandatory caps on carbon emissions, a move that also blew down the straw house of the deny-and-delay crowd. The legislation that Warner has written with Lieberman, an Independent, combines elements of earlier, stillborn bills, and it won crucial backing from California Senator Barbara Boxer, Democratic chairwoman of the Environment Committee.
