Rep. Bartlett hits House on renewables -- and I don't mean Gregory House Time to focus on tax credits, not Lieberman-Warner	Joseph Romm	21 May 2008	Gristmill
I love House. Not the House of Representatives, but the TV show. Everybody loves to see people with seemingly inexplicable symptoms saved from sure death. No doubt that explains the fascination with the Lieberman-Warner bill. But people ... I've been trying to be gentle about this ... it's dead. Sure, like Amber on the season finale [spoiler alert!] L-W can be briefly revived so we can say goodbye to it forever, but that is really just a soap opera gimmick. We do ...
