The House debates a motion to concur in the Senate amendments to H.R. 6, the Energy Independence and Security Act. House passage of the bill sends it to the President's desk, and the White House has indicated that the President will sign the bill. The legislation: Strengthens national security, by lessening our dependence on foreign oil; Reduces global warming; Lowers energy costs for consumers; And creates hundreds of thousands of new jobs and strengthens our economy. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter speaks in favor.
The Congress is pathetic and the class of 2006 has failed. To raise the cafe standards to 35 miles per gallon by 2015(?)shows that this congress is owned by the oil companies. The American people are fed up with you corporate lackies.
