NPR.org, June 14, 2007 · The controversial energy bill now on the Senate floor takes a different approach than the bill pushed through by a Republican Senate in 2005. That measure sought to increase domestic oil production through subsidies and other incentives. With Democrats now in charge, the new bill focuses on decreasing consumption of oil and gasoline. Here's a look at the bill's major provisions: . . . continued
Unlike the journalists at National Pravda Radio (NPR), I have actually read most of the 2005 Energy Bill. I will read any new energy bill after it is law. The Dems are grandstanding to their base and I do expect any substantive changes in the current approach.

Check out what Sen. Kerry says about it. A report from the front line to save the planet.

What do you call someone who wants to force a life style on the American people that he refuses to live?
I own a fuel efficient POV and house. After 30 years of being preached to by these goofs, I just wonder when liberals are going to start living a conservative lifestyle.

Your favorite (conservative?)politician? Let's compare.
He is encouraging Putin to produce nuclear power plants on barges. 'nuff said.

amazingdrx, I did check out what Kerry is saying. It is same the same thing he said when he was running for president in 2004. His energy plan is very shallow. Did I miss something?
Left wing politicos get confused between actually doing something and talking about it or telling others what to do.
So you want to compare? As governor of Texas, Bush signed one of the first RPS that became the model for the rest of the states. As a result 2/3rd of new wind capacity is being built in Texas.
I could go on but what is the point, Kerry has done nothing and has no new ideas. Bush has done lots of thing on energy that amazingdrx does not like. That is the point, he is doing something. However, I do not thing that Bush is encouraging Putin to develop nuclear barges using ice breaker technology as amazingdrx suggests. Russia does not need the US encouragement to put cold war shipyards back to work for peaceful purposes.
The US is cooperating with many countries in safe operation of nuclear power plants and R&D of the next generation of nuclear power plants.

Jason,
You can discover what Steven Carew "has got" by visiting wholesale the website for Rhino Hydro. There are a few "update" items there, dated 2004.
But, the essence of Steve's invention is described under the "technical" menu selection, as follows:
"This electro generating plant employs magnets and springs to help create a perpetual motion which hiphone drives a generator. Thus giving you the electricity you need."
Get the picture, Jason? Hard to imagine Steve can't get funding . . .2945abc45 0422
