In New Orleans yesterday, Obama said that after health care reform debate wraps up, his administration is getting ready to give climate legislation a major push. Sensing the bipartisan consensus that's starting to form around the bill, the president appears ready to throw his weight behind the climate bill--and behind the compromises that would allow for more nuclear power and domestic drilling for gas and oil.

Obama also said he'd be open to allowing for more provisions for drilling for oil and natural gas: "I'm in favor of finding environmentally sound ways to tap our oil and our natural gas."

No Compromise.
