Energy on Tuesday

The Do-Nothing Congress is back in session and the House GOP is threatening a shut down if Speaker of State Pelosi doesn't get on the ball and do something positive about the situation.

On another front, energyrallyforamerica.com is a new website from an Ohio-based PAC that is dedicated to getting the following done:
1.Expedite oil and oilshale exploration and lift the ban on drilling in ANWR

2.Tax Credits for owners of electric cars

3.Creates a $500 Million incentive for the first manufacturer of electronic, mid-size cars capable of 100 miles per gallon

4.Provides tax credits for investment in Nuclear energy

5.Extends tax credits for energy efficient buildings (i.e. LEED Certified)
