Both sides are probably eager to pass something, anything. The republicans must be even more eager because they have by far the most seats up for grabs in the Senate this year.
Much like most of what has been passed the last ten years it will be a bloated, unwieldy monster tome of legislation so that each side can point to some part or the other and say “we passed this for (insert special interest group here)”.
In reality they will open up some areas for drilling, let other leases expire and close, add more environmental impact regulations and pledge even more subsidies for alternative energies that aren’t efficient enough to be profitable on their own.
Business as usual in the beltway, a trillion dollar monopoly game with an unlimited bank . . . us.
Pessimistic but true.
