2007 US Energy Bill

Here's an informative NYT editorial on the upcoming US energy bill and its components; here's NPR's coverage. The coal industry's push for coal-to-liquid power plants is a terrible idea, and even a goal of 20% renewable energy by 2020 is underestimating the American economy, not to mention American ingenuity. The fuel economy goal of 35mpg is unfortunately going to be one of the most necessary and possibly the hardest for the auto industry to swallow.

I really hope they don't mess this up.
