  This is a monumental bill

  Maybe by "things to watch" she meant "the good parts of the bill".  I am not for biofuels...a 20 page paper in college taught me that they are a big fat waste and, in a lucky little bonus damage the environment (cutting down forests to create corn fields, ug) and do all the bad things you mentioned.  However, the fuel standard of 35 mpg by 2020 and 15% renewable energy by 2020 are big steps in the right direction for the US.  The content of this bill is a really big deal, and I urge you to log onto http://www.energybill2007.org to sign a petition to pass these 2 provisions, or to write a letter to a congress(wo)man to get your voice heard.  Julia, you say that in 20 years we will be driving cleaner cars ect. but truly, thats what people said in the 70s after the oil crisis, and nothing has been done.  It is imperative that we use our voices to get standards in the US.On What's going on with the energy bill in Congress posted 2 years ago 7 Responses
