Sen Lindsay Graham and energy policy

A Good Energy Bill Can Make Gas Prices and Electricity Affordable
Published on February 1, 2011 by Nicolas Loris

Gasoline prices are steadily rising toward $4 per gallon, the price that triggers public outcry and congressional response. In a recent interview, Senator Lindsay Graham (R--SC) said that at $4 gasoline, "everybody is tripping over themselves to find an energy policy."[1] Graham then mentioned he would start work on his clean energy standard (CES) bill that would mandate that a certain percentage of our nation's electricity come from carbon-free sources. In a recent speech, Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee chairman Jeff Bingaman (D--NM) renewed his interest in introducing a clean energy standard bill and for the first time supported nuclear's inclusion so long as the bill provided additional incentives for renewable energy.[2]

There are prudent ideas to lower gas prices, but implementing a CES is not one of them. The only thing it would do is significantly increase Americans' electricity bills.
