Senator Lisa Murkowski, ranking member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, talked about her support for a climate change plan proposed by Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC). When announcing her support earlier in the week she said that the proposed climate change bill would "shift" the climate debate. The bill calls for aggressive carbon emissions cuts and an expansion of nuclear power and offshore drilling. After the interview, the reporters discussed her responses with the host.
