Early this morning I was in a meeting in which I incidentally mentioned an article about the move to adopt a federal renewable electricity standard, before conceding that nobody really cares about renewable electricity standards. Well, now! I got an earful about how renewable electricity standards are really important. And they are! So for my sins, here’s CAP’s Dan Weiss explaining what a renewable electricity standard is:
At any rate, an Energy & Environment Daily item that you need a password to read reports that with Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) on board, Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) now has the votes needed to move a renewable electricity standard bill out of committee. That’s good.
