conocophillips jumps on reductions bandwagon

ConocoPhillips, the biggest of the three major North Slope oil producers, made headlines yesterday when it announced that it was joining a group calling for the development of a federal plan for capping emissions. BP, one of the other big Alaska producers, has already signed on. Exxon Mobil, the last, has not.
Heres the AP story on it. (I contributed to the wire story for our paper, but alas, our Web site doesnt have it up.)
Deborah Williams, an Alaska climate change advocate, was totally psyched about the announcement, which also included some voluntary efforts to reduce emissions. She urged me to check out the actual proposal the group, the US Climate Action Partnership, is pushing -- it calls on Congress to aim for reducing emissions by 60 to 80 percent from current levels by 2050.
