Keeping Momentum On The Energy Bill

Laptop Battery Following nearly a year of heated debate over polar bears, caribou and S.U.V.'s, a divided Congress decided to put its energy bill on hold late last month. It did so even after such politically charged issues as oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and increases in automobile mileage standards were taken off the table. Now that Republicans will control the new Congress, what will they do about energy, and how will the Democrats respond?

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 If Senator Pete V. Domenici, the Republican from New Mexico who will take over as Energy Committee chairman, decides to load up a new energy bill with these same contentious issues, the Democrats will resist, as they did this year. But if he has the foresight to reintroduce the compromise bill reached by the last Congress, Democrats should put their objections aside and support it.

Laptop Computers The most important issue in America today is jobs, and this bill will help the private sector create lots of them. In fact, it represents one of the best economic stimulus packages the new Congress is likely to pass.

Re "Keeping Momentum on the Energy Bill, " by Bob Kerrey ( Ed, Dec. 3): The California Public Interest Research Group disagrees with Mr. Kerrey's conclusion that Congress should shed a few of the controversial provisions in this year's energy bill and pick up where it left off.

Laptop Computer By clarifying arcane rules concerning the electricity industry and repealing outdated Depression-era laws, the bill will encourage more investment in energy. Indeed, our tentative economic recovery depends on secure, sustainable and affordable energy. The bill would advance all those goals.

Bob Kerrey ("Keeping Momentum on the Energy Bill, " Ed, Dec. 3) paints the energy legislation that emerged at the end of the last Congress as a reasonable compromise that would benefit the environment and consumers. In fact, the measure would do virtually nothing for the environment while repealing important consumer protections.

Desktop Computer Second, the bill can bring Americans important benefits in the form of safer, more reliable energy. It would encourage the development of "green" or renewable resources wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and small-scale hydroelectric, for example which today generate less than 2 percent of our nation's electricity. The other 98 percent comes from traditional sources like fossil fuels, nuclear energy and large-scale hydro projects, which carry far heavier environmental burdens.

Notebooks We all know that renewable energy resources are mostly pollution-free. But this isn't their only virtue. They are by definition domestically based, and for this reason contribute to our energy security. They provide fuel diversity and price stability. After all, the fuel the wind, the sun, heat from the core of the earth costs nothing. And they provide jobs. In fact, according to a study released last summer by the California Public Interest Research Group, renewable energy plants create four times the number of jobs in construction, operation and maintenance as traditional plants.

Lenovo While renewables have made impressive progress in closing the price gap with fossil fuels, they remain more expensive because they have greater up-front construction costs or are necessarily located in remote areas. The pricing of renewables, however, includes no adjustment for the social benefits of these emissions-free energy sources.

Hard Drive The energy bill as currently written would change all that. It would also spur investment by providing a production tax credit for renewable electricity sources. It would also direct the federal government, the largest single purchaser of electricity in the world, to buy 10 percent of its power from renewable resources.

Travelstar These measures would provide a huge boost for technology development, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollution and help diversify our energy supply. With the bill, wind energy alone could provide thousands of new jobs by 2020, many of them here in New York State and the Northeast.

Gateway A report issued by the government's Energy Information Agency showed that by helping to reduce our growing dependence on natural gas, the bill's provisions would pay for themselves by holding down consumer gas prices. In addition, renewables would reduce our need to import more oil from the Middle East.

Laptop Parts Is the bill a perfect piece of legislation? No, but it is the best opportunity we've ever had to jump-start production of renewable energy and it's a sound way to help our economy. An energy bill will remain a top priority for the administration and Congress next year. Rather than starting over from square one, Congress should resurrect the good work it's already done. Fights over polar bears, caribou, and the Arctic can all be voted on separately.
