Spring is in the air. But it feels like Christmas on Capitol Hill. An enormous energy bill is now pending in the U.S. Senate — one that incorporates more than 50 previously introduced provisions, including giving money to green energy, nuclear power and carbon capture and sequestration.
The authors of the American Energy Innovation Act of 2020 are Senators Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Joe Manchin, D-W.V. They remarked that it’s been 13 years since the last major energy bill passed — metaphorically known as “Christmas trees” because they have something for everyone.
