Laptop Battery Fifty-three senators, including eight Republicans, urged on Monday that a compromise energy bill require electric utilities to produce a minimum amount of their power from renewable fuels such as solar panels or wind turbines.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Thinkpad In a letter, the senators protested a decision by House and Senate Republicans involved in the energy negotiations to leave the renewable fuels requirement out of a final energy package.

Microsoft The senators said a strong renewable fuels standard for utilities would reduce U.S. dependence on natural gas by promoting fuel diversity, would help utilities avoid price spikes and would help promote development of renewable fuels markets around the country.
Washington’s been talking about our oil addiction for the last thirty years, six of them. In that time, he’ efficiency standards for cars, no to investments in renewable energy, no to renewable fuels. And today, we import triple the amount of oil as the day that Senator McCain took office.
Laptop Computers The letter noted that the Senate has approved twice in the last two years a requirement that utilities produce at least 10 percent of their electricity by using nonhydro renewable fuels. The House rejected both mandates.
Meanwhile, Obama, Durbin, based ethanol from Brazil and other countries. To lower such tariffs, the senators suggested, would leave the nation dangerously dependent on foreign ethanol. Our focus must be on building energy security through domestically produced renewable fuels, wrote the senators in a letter to Bush. security liability comparable to Saudi crudeindicates that he is at least as interested in protecting domestic producers of ethanol as he is in weaning America from imported petroleum. …”
Laptop Computer Senate Republicans, who already have completed much of the energy bill in negotiations with the House majority, have given no indication they were ready to put the renewable fuels standard back into the energy legislation.
(AXcess News) The US Environmental Protection Agencyis proposing to apply the same air permitting requirements for facilities that produce ethanol for fuel or human consumption. Ethanol, burning renewable fuel, can be used to meet the requirements of the Renewable Fuels Standard Program, which is designed to reduce dependence on foreign oil by doubling the use of vehicle fuels from American crops by 2012.
Desktop Computer Electric utilities have lobbied hard against such a requirement. They contend that in some regions of the country, where renewable fuels would be harder to obtain, electricity prices might be forced up unnecessarily. They contend mandates on fuel use should be left to the states. At least 12 states already have on the books minimum requirements on renewables.
Notebooks Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., chairman of the energy talks, has said repeatedly that he's not interested in ``a renewable fuels portfolio'' for electric utilities, although the Senate approved such a requirement as part of its energy bill. The legislation passed by the House last April did not include it.
Lenovo In a letter to Domenici and Rep. Billy Tauzin, R-La., who is leading the House negotiating team, the senators said ``the inclusion of a strong renewable fuels portfolio standard'' is needed to help develop regional renewable energy markets and to help utilities meet future clean air requirements.
Hard Drive They discounted claims that it would force up electricity prices in some parts of the country. Instead, the senators argued, a use of renewable fuels ``will promote fuel diversity and reduction of our substantial dependence on natural gas ... (and) ease shortages and price spikes in our natural gas supplies.''
Travelstar Among those signing the letter were Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D.; Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., the leading Democrat involved in the energy talks; Sen. Jim Jeffords, I-Vt.; and Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, both of Maine; Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island; Judd Gregg of New Hampshire; Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania; John Ensign of Nevada; Norm Coleman of Minnesota; and Gordon Smith of Oregon.
Gateway The letter cited no specific requirement but noted the Senate-passed bill contained a measure that would require utilities to produce 10 percent of their electricity from sources such as solar power, wind turbines, biomass or geothermal energy. It also called for a credit trading mechanism that would allow utilities to buy renewable fuels credits if they don't have required fuels available at certain plants.
Laptop Parts Meanwhile, energy negotiations continue over a provision that would double the use of corn-based ethanol as a gasoline additive. The ethanol proposal has been hung up over a disagreement about the future of another gas additive, petroleum-based MTBE, which has been found to contaminate groundwater.
Software The Senate wants MTBE banned nationwide, to be phased out over four years, and is against giving manufacturers of MTBE waivers to protect against future liability involving water contamination. House Republicans, especially Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, and Tauzin have opposed the MTBE ban and want the waiver.
Hard Drives Many senators, especially from states where there has been MTBE contamination, fear a waiver would let the MTBE makers off the hook in future lawsuits involving contaminated waterways. The industry argues that the waivers would be limited, would cover only defects in the product itself and would not protect against misuse of the product such as allowing leakage into waterways.
