Your "key opportunity" has to be at the forefront of everyone's mind as the bill advances (and its opponents are still going to try every trick to stop it dead).

Is it a contradiction to give away so many credits and then still hit even the mild reduction targets by 2025? Doesn't that put us in a legally binding abrupt carbon shift? Or are those provisions not thought out well and intended to get muddied up 10 years in the future? I guess what I'm saying is, is there anything here resembling a strategic energy plan for the country, or is it a hodge-podge of goals and concessions lumped together in to a bill? And what the hell happened that got us from "100% auction" - Obama, to 40-60% auction? What was the ratio of giveaways to auction in the European carbon trading plan of earlier this decade? Ugh.
