Representative Edward Markey, Massachusetts Democrat, announced that he is going to file a bill that would require an 85 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the United States by 2050. Like almost all other bills filed in Congress, Markey’s bill would rely on a cap-and-trade system to achieve the emission reductions. Markey is chairman of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming.
