Obama, Love, Duncan

Obama met with Scott Brown today. Hoops:

“He said, 'I’d like to have you and your daughter out to play basketball this summer,'” Brown said. “So I’m excited about that.”

Brown said Obama made the invitation at the end of a meeting Wednesday afternoon at which they discussed climate change legislation.

Energy:

“He did talk about climate and his concerns about the climate, and I basically told him that I’m not in favor nor could I support a national energy tax or a cap-and-trade proposal,” Brown said.

“But I am very excited about working with him in a bipartisan manner to come up with a comprehensive energy plan to address a whole host of issues: wind, solar, hydro, nuclear, geothermal, conservation, incentivizing businesses, providing grants and loans to our businesses,” said Brown.

Brown said he was very concerned about jobs and job creation and making that a focus of energy reform. Read it all at The Hill.

Obama also spoke with John Kerry and Dick Lugar on energy.
