New legislation poised to put a damper on carbon dioxide emissions has sent executives of top electric companies running to Washington. Among them is Duke Energy Corp. (NYSE: DUK) chairman James Rogers. During negotiations, Rogers suggested conglomerating carbon dioxide regulations with other not yet legislated emission limits on harmful chemicals such as mercury and nitrogen. The clean air director for the Natural Resources Defense Council, John Walke, scoffed at the idea, stating, "Coal plant lobbyists are threatening to hold climate legislation hostage unless senators agree to give them more time to keep spewing more deadly smog, soot and toxic pollution."
