Reid puts renewables mandate in play, eyes lame-duck energy bill - The Hill's E2-Wire

Cap and Trade is back....Obama said it last night....told you these people will NOT go away or listen to those who voted for them. We do not count. We are considered stupid and beneath their consideration.

Reid puts renewables mandate in play, eyes lame-duck energy bill - The Hill's E2-Wire:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday a nationwide renewable-electricity standard, or RES, is “absolutely” in the mix as he tries to salvage energy legislation this year — possibly in a lame-duck session.

Before the August recess, Reid said he doubted an RES — which would require utilities to provide escalating amounts of power from sources like wind and solar energy — could win 60 votes. It was left on the cutting-room floor when Reid unveiled a modest energy bill in late July."
