This is a nice bill, but not enough.  Fairly weak RPS, no CAFE standards (!), solar residential tax credit remains capped at $2000 while our solar industry lags behind other countries, and plenty of bio-fuel pork.  

We can do better.

I agree with kenrosso. Both energy bills show glimpses of wisdom. However, neither of them is strong enough, and reconciling the two will be no easy task. I am afraid that the few sharp edges found in the two bills will need to be smoothed out in order to get it past W's desk.

As it stands now, individual states and municipalities are showing the most leadership in issues of climate change, but relying solely on them to tackle this problem will bring uneven, piecemeal legislation, as well as the potential for a "race to the bottom." On the bright side, this country is undergoing a demographic metamorphosis which might just bring real change to the places it is needed most.
