WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- The support of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., for legislation to limit greenhouse gas emissions is a key development on the issue, analysts say.
Graham's support for controversial climate change legislation could provide crucial political capital for the measure, giving it momentum to bypass dubious Democrats who fear electoral effects in their districts and Republicans who oppose it as an "energy tax," Hearst Newspapers reported Sunday.
