Today’s New York Times has a story about the White House’s views on addressing climate change as part of an ongoing plan for economic recovery.

“The carbon price signal created by a cap-and-trade system will encourage energy efficiency, the low-hanging fruit of greenhouse gas emissions reductions,” CEQ Chairwoman Nancy Sutley said during a carbon markets conference in Washington.

“More importantly, it will also encourage the development and deployment of the clean-energy technologies that will be critical to address climate change, enhance energy security and create jobs that can’t be outsourced.”
