The Club for Growth has compiled a list of potential McCain vice presidential nominees to find where they each stand on cap-and-trade legislation.  And, good news, a man who usually appears at the top of most lists is all for it:

Tim Pawlenty: The Minnesota Governor has already passed energy mandates last year, requiring utilities to produce 25 percent of their electricity from renewable source by 2025 and set targets for the state to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050. Now, Pawlenty is seeking to take his environmental progress regional. In January of this year, Pawlenty met with other Midwest governors, signing the Midwestern Greenhouse Gas Accord to establish a cap-and-trade market in the Midwest. "Our regional agreement is an important milestone toward achieving a cleaner, more secure energy future," Governor Pawlenty said. "The Midwest is well-positioned to help lead the energy revolution that our nation needs to stay competitive and strong. Working together, states can build a de facto national energy policy that will create good jobs and build a cleaner and safer world."

SECOND LOOK AT DEPRESSION!

Follow the link to see the others on the list.  Naturally, the ones who oppose that type of legislation appear to be the least likely to be chosen.
