On April 21, 2009, the House Committe on Energy and Commerce conducted the first of four days of hearings on the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (or ACESA), legislation to combat global warming. The first day is limited to opening statements, but the following three days will be testimony. And there are a number of high profile witnesses, including former Vice President Al Gore, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson. The entire schedule is listed here. A video of the first day of the hearings can be found here. This should certainly be a very interesting set of hearings to watch.
