Friday, November 14, 2003 :::
Republicans on Friday finished a massive energy bill that would double Americans’ use of ethanol in their cars, reduce their susceptibility to power blackouts and aim tax breaks at oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear power providers. However, the measure would deny President Bush his top energy priority: oil drilling in the Arctic wildlife refuge. Most of the time when I can go down a laundry list like this and disagree with every single item, I'm more upset by the passage of the bill than I really am here. Okay, I oppose blackouts. I don't know the details of how the bill deals with them, but I would expect they likely do more good than harm.Oh, I got that from MSNBC, by the way.
