Basically, this group of people has a CURRENT history of non-ecological issues. Three bills directly show an interest in this issue. More bills show a pandering to those opposing the war in Iraq. More importantly, one bill shows an antagonism to spending any money on anything, one shows a preference to increase regulations and therefore restrict the development of alternative energy ( nuclear ), and two are more concerned about race than energy.
Yeah buddy, this bunch is going to get a lot done in the real world.
