Excerpt from Energy and Climate Debate

Between campaign speeches, budget debates, and transportation reauthorization negotiations, energy issues played a key role on the national stage last week. The Senate will take up the farm bill and its contentious energy provisions this week, and the House will consider legislation (H.R. 4480) linking the use of the strategic petroleum reserve to more oil and gas drilling on federal land.
