From the page: Some supporters of Mr. Donohue say if anything, he has been too accommodating to companies that support climate-change legislation. "You can never herd all companies in the same direction. He's doing as good a job as anyone I've seen heading one of these organizations," said Don Blankenship, CEO of coal producer Massey Energy Co., and a Chamber board member.

But, he added, "I don't like to see trade associations refer to global warming as "an issue" because it supports the idea something needs to be done about it." He said he has pressed Mr. Donohue to take an even tougher stand against proposals in Congress to require companies to pay for their emissions. He said high emissions "mean you've got a better, more productive economy."

=============================================================

That's laughable coming from a coal CEO. High emissions "mean you've got a better, more productive economy." That might have been true during the industrial revolution, but come on folks, it's time to clean up the act and build a new energy future. We cannot rely on this one forever even if it is difficult during the transition.

New Zealand please.
