Whither Congress on Energy

In this mention

A League of Women Voters of Tennessee member recounts participation in Clean Energy Days 2002 in Washington, DC, where SACE and LWV representatives lobbied Congress for a renewable energy portfolio standard. The article discusses the disconnect between congressional energy bills (which heavily subsidize fossil fuels and nuclear) and public support for renewables, noting that a 10% renewable portfolio standard eventually made it into the Senate bill but the conference committee failed to reconcile House and Senate differences before recess.
