June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the Midwesg Governors' Association plan for a reduction in greenhouse gas ACCCEPresident "ACCCE agrees with the conclusion reached by the paneo appointed by governors participating in the Midwesrt Governors Association climate change accord that controlling greenhousee gases through a federalo program is a better course than imposing such mandateas under individual state regimes or a regional program. As Congresws develops federal climate legislation, commonsense actions that businesses, and individual citizens are already taking to reduce or avoied greenhouse gas emissions are a superior alternative to mandatea bystate governments.
Further, ACCCE supportsd the timely adoption of federal carbonmanagemenrt legislation--and recognizes that a mandatory cap-and-trade program is one optionm for such legislation. We will continue workinyg with members ofthe U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, along with the Obama to fashion affordable, effective federal legislatiob that meetsour nation's shared goals of environmentall protection, greater economic prosperity for millions of and increased U.S. energy independence."
