WASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he wants to take up a bill to tackle global warming by the end of the summer.

The Nevada Democrat told The Associated Press in an interview late Thursday that the Senate in the next few weeks will move to pass an energy bill focusing on several of President Barack Obama’s priorities, but then ” hopefully late this summer do the global warming part of it.”

There is widespread agreement that the climate change issue must be addressed. But there remains sharp disagreement on just how to do it.

Many Republicans argue that the Democrats’ plan to cap the greenhouse gases blamed for global warming may be too expensive and produce higher energy costs. Democratic congressional leaders maintain that costs can be contained and that failure to act soon could have even more severe economic consequences.

Reid says he is convinced that many senators want to move on the issue this year.

“We have to take a whack at it,” he said.

Reid, who is up for re-election next year, has assumed a high profile on the need to promote “clean energy” sources such as wind, solar and biomass that do not produce carbon dioxide, the predominant greenhouse gas. These are also energy projects popular in Reid’s home state, where several major solar projects are under way or planned.

Next week, Reid will participate in a “clean energy” forum being convened by the Center for American

AlGore stands in front of the world he destroyed economically via the total scam of "Global Warming" causing massive increased costs of living on innocent human beings across the world.

Progress. Others participating will include former President Bill Clinton, possibly former Vice President Al Gore,and senior Obama administration officials.

Reid earlier this week said that he expected Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, to produce an energy package within two weeks that will be ready for floor action. Among other things, Bingaman’s bill would require utilities to produce 4 percent of their electricity from renewable energy sources by 2011, increasing to 20 percent over the following decade, according to a draft of the legislation.  OH  MY  GOD ! ! ! !  Do you guys remember what happened to California?  The land of forcing all manner of Global Warming B.S. down the throats of their citizens in the form of “requirements”?  They are now over $42 BILLION DOLLARS in debt.  They have refused to send out tax refunds to millions of people expecting them.  They are talking of raising all sorts of taxes.  And, people are leaving California by the droves!  Don’t fall for this people, study, read and learn about the sham of Global Warming for yourselves.  The whole thing is B.S.!  I have spent months researching all of this.  You can find all sorts of science articles on The Liberty Tree Lantern so that these damn tyrants don’t screw with your minds, for the sake of controlling and manipulating us.  Much of our financial disaster has been caused by the false “beguilement” of Global Warming.  Our economy can’t take anymore of it before total collapse.

Reid said he favors a 20 percent renewable standard for utilities, but added, “we’ll get by with what we can.”

Many states already have requirements for utilities to use renewable energy, but attempts in Congress to establish a national requirement have fallen short repeatedly because of regional divisions. Lawmakers from the Southeast particularly have argued that utilities in their area would be hard pressed to meet a federal requirement because they lack wind or solar energy resources.

Reid said he also favors some additional tax incentives aimed at spurring energy efficiency, especially for construction of more energy efficient buildings.

“We’ve got to give people incentives to build better buildings and also do something about the buildings that are there right now,” said Reid.

But Reid said he doesn’t expect the Senate to tackle the issue of offshore oil drilling again.

While Congress last fall ended a drilling moratorium that covered 85 percent of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf, Reid said he’s convinced that Obama’s Interior Department will protect those areas where drilling shouldn’t be allowed.

“I don’t think we need to do anything legislatively,” he said.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar recently scrapped a Bush administration blueprint for offshore energy development through 2015 and said he was developing a new plan, keeping in mind that some areas are not suitable for drilling and putting greater emphasis on developing wind and wave energy projects offshore.

Do you folks have any idea how much more you are going to have to pay for energy if Dingy Harry gets his way?  Did you enjoy $4.00/ gallon gasoline, massive increases in the cost of heat and light and huge increased costs in groceries?  This is what is on tap if you don’t stop the Senate Majority Tyrant!

Have you seen the price of a barrel of crude go up about $4.00 today.  I was wondering how the price of oil could go up that much.  I figured it had something to do with B.O. and or his Interior Secretary of despotism and creator of massively higher cost of living expenses comrade Ken Salazar.  How could this bastard stop our oil companies from producing our own cheap domestic oil supplies?  That S.O.B.! ! ! !

If we don’t start doing something to force these oppressors to let our oil companies produce our energy supplies we are really headed for trouble when we already have so many people out of work and our economy failing.  Don’t you see what these people are doing to us?  When are we going to rise up and tell these bastards where to stick it?  When are we going to tell our public “SERVANTS’ to get the hell out of our way?  When are we going to tell them to DRILL  BABY,,,  DRILL!

How long are we going to let these bastards destroy our financial lives, especially when there are so many scientists that state that we are going into another ice age?  And NASA satilites indicate a downward temperature trend over almost ten years?  I sure haven’t seen any global warming lately?  Have you?  We’ve had a lot of below zero days here in Wisconsin and plenty of snow.

Excuse me, I need to go out to my garage and hold onto my pitchfork, again, for awhile.  I’m getting those forward twitching compulsions in my arms again.  Perhaps another rope and a box of ammo, too!
