Senate passes neutered Energy Bill
Finally. 36B gallons RFS, new CAFE standards and some energy effeciency. All the easy stuff actually. They took out the RPS (renewable electricity) and any money for tax extensions. They also caved to Oil lobby on raising taxes on oil. The bill with the taxes failed by ONE VOTE in the senate early yesterday. Think your vote doesn't matter? Unbelievable that today in these times of $90 oil our Senate can't get the votes to raise taxes on Oil companies. I am embarrassed for America.
