So says Obama “energy adviser” Carol Browner:

President Barack Obama’s top energy adviser said Friday there is no way Congress will be able to pass a bill on climate change this year.
“That’s not going to happen,” said the adviser, Carol Browner.
Browner made the statement at a conference organized by The Atlantic magazine, just days after Senate Democrats introduced a major bill on climate change. In a video posted on the magazine’s Web site, Browner was asked about the prospects of enacting climate legislation by the time negotiations on a global climate treaty begin in December in Copenhagen.
“Obviously, we’d like to be through the process, but that’s not going to happen,” Browner said. “I think we would all agree the likelihood you would have a bill signed by the president on comprehensive energy by the time we go early in December is not likely.”

Has “czar” become unfashionable again?
