				<p>This is very good news.&nbsp; Now comes more hard work -- we have got to get the full House and the Senate to strengthen this bill.&nbsp; But it has cleared one major hurdle, albeit with much damage from industry lobbyists, damage that has to be undone.&nbsp; Thanks to Waxman and Markey for getting&nbsp;the bill&nbsp;this far under difficult circumstances.</p>

				<p>Please also consider supporting Joe Pitts of Arizona:<p><a href="http://www.phoenixvillenews.com/articles/2009/05/23/opinion/srv0000005405547.txt" rel="nofollow">http://www.phoenixvillenews.com/articles/2009/05/23/opinion/srv0000005405547.txt<p>&nbsp;<strong>With this in mind, I tried to offer an amendment during the recent
markup of the American Clean Energy and Security Act (H.R. 2454)&mdash;the
Democrats' cap and trade bill&mdash;in the House Energy and Commerce
Committee. My amendment would have helped create an incentive for our
American automakers to bring hydrogen fuel cell vehicles online.
Unfortunately, because the entire thousand-page bill was considered
over just four days, there was not enough time for consideration of the
hundreds of amendments Republicans attempted to offer to make a bad
bill better. My hydrogen amendment was one of those blocked because
Chairman Waxman had set an arbitrary deadline of finishing
consideration of the bill before the Memorial Day weekend.<p>So, it sounds like there was a lot of sloppy legislating just to make political points and Congress was willing to throw the baby out with the bath water.<p>Also, I would hope there is some "transparency" when it comes to spending.<p>Who is getting what from this and why...<p>&nbsp;</p></p></p></p></strong></p></a></p></p>

				<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Joseph Pitts has a terrible environmental voting record and has been antagonistic towards energy independence.&nbsp; So, for him to walk in with some left field hydrogen fuel cell idea is farce.&nbsp; Remember fuel cells are basically batteries and do not solve the issue of how the energy is generated, probably by coal fired power plants in Joe&rsquo;s world given his dismal environmental voting record.&nbsp; Joe&rsquo;s proposed amendment amounts to contrived&nbsp;political theatre,&nbsp;in an&nbsp;attempt to&nbsp;cast doubt.&nbsp; The bill is a brilliant political feat speed through in light of the coming international negotiations.&nbsp; To have slowed the process, and tried for a perfect bill would be &ldquo;throwing the baby out with the bath water.&rdquo;</p>

				<p>I think Congress has figured out the art of making promises 40 years in the future.&nbsp; The 17%&nbsp;by 2020 might spur nuclear power ... but hey, if these targets are not met, no one is going to worry too much.</p><p>The bottom line is that CO2 will continue to rise, global temperature will continue to be unpredictable, taxes will increase,&nbsp;and China and India will continue to spew.</p><p>Any questions?</p>
