Senate Leader Seeks Action On Energy Bill

The Senate's top Democrat on Thursday said he will seek a vote in coming weeks on an energy bill that could mandate more use of renewable fuels like ethanol, make federally owned buildings more efficient and require utilities to sell green power.

Sen. Harry Reid (news, bio, voting record) of Nevada, the Senate's Majority Leader, said he wants the chamber to vote on a bill before it leaves for its Memorial Day recess at the end of May.

Climate change legislation, which could come in the form of several bills, would be handled separately from the energy package, Reid said.

I am glad to see legislation like this being considered and prepared.

I think that it is a good idea to sperate bills dealing with climate change
and alternative energy source development into different legislation.
As this way there is no real reason that this bill should be opposed.
