I'm sure that everyone here remembers Bush saying that the US can't afford to help drought stricken farmers with a $6B drought relief package...times are tough. I'd like to ask everyone on the thread to help.....

Background: The electricity issues are only one part of a sprawling energy bill that could reach 1,000 pages if negotiators reconcile remaining differences. The conferees are considering proposals to allow drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR); build a $20 billion pipeline to deliver Alaska natural gas to the lower 48 states; double production of ethanol gasoline additives; establish new procedures for monitoring greenhouse gas emissions; and give energy producers up to $20 billion in tax incentives.

Specifically, I'm asking everyone to keep your ears and eyes open for the White House position that: The US can't afford $20B in tax incentives for energy producers or to spend $20B to build a pipline for the energy producers

Thanks in advance,
jttmab
