Senate roadblock for energy bill
By Upstream staff
Republicans in the US Senate today blocked a speedy vote on an energy bill passed by the House of Representatives this week, signaling an uphill battle for Democrats' plan to impose new taxes on oil and gas companies and a renewable power mandate for utilities.
The House yesterday passed a wide-sweeping energy bill, which would boost vehicle fuel economy requirements by 40% by 2020, raise ethanol use by five-fold by 2022 and impose $13 billion in new taxes on big energy companies.
But the Energy Independence and Security Act, an amalgam of energy priorities driven by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, quickly drew fire from both the White House and Senate Republicans.
"While she can muscle bills through the House on a party-line vote, it doesn't work that way over here," Reuters reported Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said, referring to Pelosi.
A procedural attempt by Majority Leader Harry Reid to limit debate on the House-passed measure fell seven votes short of the 60 votes needed to move to quick consideration of the bill.
Without the key agreement, Republicans could drag out debate on the House energy bill indefinitely. Democrats now have little choice but to change the bill in an attempt to gain more Republican votes.
Analysts say the House bill is unlikely to survive intact, but a stripped-down version could become law if controversial tax and renewable electricity provisions are dropped.
Senate Republicans and the Bush administration say they will block a final bill if it includes a $21 billion tax package, financed mostly by revoking $13 billion in tax incentives for oil and gas supermajors ExxonMobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips.
Both Senate Republicans and the White House also object to a requirement for utilities to get 15% of their power from renewable sources like wind and solar by 2020 - that they say will raise electricity bills for customers in the US Southeast in Midwest, which lack plentiful wind and solar resources.
Democrats in the House have "chosen to add the twin millstones of utility rate hikes and massive tax increases," McConnell said. "The end result is the House passed a bill but it won't become law."
Reid said that with crude prices near $90 a barrel and gasoline prices at the pump around $3 a gallon, "the time to act is now".
The centerpiece of the bill - hiking the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards to 35 miles per gallon (15 kilometres per litre) by 2020, would save American families up to $1000 per year at the pump, totaling $22 billion in savings in 2020, Reid said.
