Climate action advocates got a jolt Sunday morning from an op-ed [2] written by Senators John Kerry (D-MA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in The New York Times that sketched out an "all-of-the-above" energy-climate plan. I can’t think of anybody who won’t hate at least one part of this formula – certainly we at the Pew Center would offer some important tweaks. But Kerry and Graham have posed a tough question: Are we truly ready to hammer out an all-of-the-above energy policy that meets our economic, security [3] and climate objectives?
