I hope in this country we actually have an opposition party that is ready to do the same We do, all 40 republicans voted for stopping the EPA plus (IIRC) 6 democrats. But the measure failed and the EPA now does cap and tax, no new law needed.
Judd Gregg said he might be willing to look at a scaled back Cap and Tax. But even if they just go with an energy bill the House has a cap and tax provision in theirs. What happens in conference?
If you ask me gridlock is good, we don't need anymore democrat legislation this year.
