Rep Ed Markey (D-MA) has a Scorecard of the Energy Bill passed last week.
Kevin Drum has some comments. Comparing it to the 2005 bill passed by the Republican congress he says, "Today's bill, by contrast, actually accomplishes something. The CAFE increase to 35 mpg, all by itself, is historic, and 60% of the fuel mandate is for advanced biofuels and cellulosic ethanol, rather than the corn variety. This is real legislation that addresses a real problem, not a handout for campaign donors masquerading as 'reform.'"
