On E2<\/em>, Senate Democrats are ready to get to work on a comprehensive energy plan<\/a>. This news<\/p>\n

\u201ccomes a day after a Senate Democratic caucus meeting that, according to several lawmakers, revealed a strong interest among members in pressing ahead with legislation this year to boost alternative energy and reduce emissions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

E2<\/em> also has a new study by the Center for American Progress warning that an \u201cenergy-only\u201d bill will increase the budget deficit<\/a> while a comprehensive approach would actually reduce<\/em> the deficit. Study author and senior fellow Daniel J. Weiss notes that<\/p>\n

\u201cproposed global warming legislation\u2026would actually generate enough revenue to reduce the deficit, prevent major price increases on consumers, and still invest in clean energy technologies. These bills would generate billions of dollars in revenue from the auction of \u2018pollution allowances\u2019 that the largest emitters must hold for every ton of greenhouse gas pollution emitted annually.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Green Inc.<\/em> asks \u201cIs it energy\u2019s turn now?\u201d<\/a> The answer seems to be yes, especially after the successful Democratic caucus on Thursday and the willingness of the President to throw his support behind the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Obama hoped to give the matter a boost this week by calling a bipartisan group of senators to the White House for a pep talk, but he canceled at the last minute to deal with a crisis in his military leadership in Afghanistan. The president is now planning to host the energy meeting on Tuesday.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
