The Global Citizen: renewable energy
Is the idea of 'achieving energy security' an attainable reality or will it remain a mere proposal?
Ron Brownstein has an interesting article in The Atlantic (October 2009) that describes California's efforts to create sensible energy regulation and promote green technologies:
This just in - The Senate Finance Committee just approved a $29 billion package of tax incentives supporting renewables at the expense of the oil and gas industry.
"When the major oil companies are making record profits, consumers are paying record prices, the federal government should not provide record subsidies for the major companies,? said Ron Wyden, D-Ore."
The Senate is entering its second week of deliberations on a proposed energy bill (H.R. 6). Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has made it clear that he wants to wrap-up the energy bill by the end of the week, so he can take another stab at moving the immigration reform bill.
