Graham completes break with Kerry climate plan, backs Lugar energy bill with no emissions cap

Graham supports energy proposal with no limits on emissions
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Wednesday announced his support of an energy bill authored by Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., which would not impose mandatory caps on greenhouse-gas emissions. "Senator Lugar has found a way forward that I think will be attractive to the business community, to Democrats and Republicans alike," Graham said. Lugar's bill also includes larger loan guarantees for new nuclear projects, as well as federal aid for industrial energy-efficiency improvements. The Hill/E2 Wire blog
