As the dust settles from the midterm election, it is time to examine what might still be accomplished before the end of the year and preview what to expect in the 114th Congress. Below we examine seven committees: Senate Energy and Natural Resources; Environment and Public Works; and Finance; and House Energy & Commerce; Natural Resources; Science, Space, and Technology; and Ways and Means. We expect to see energy and environmental policy remain atop the legislative dockets of these committees in the lame duck session and the 114th Congress.

Remainder of 2014 -

With Congress returning for the final days of the lame duck session before Republicans assume control of both chambers in the 114th Congress, and President Obama entering the final two years of his term, several energy and environmental issues remain unfinished. Several of these issues may play out before we ring in the new year, and others will await calendar time in 2015.
