The Hill just reported that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) will bring to the floor “this month” an energy bill with oil spill response provisions that does not include any kind of cap on greenhouse gas emissions.

According to The Hill:

For now, the limited package expected on the floor this month will likely allow Democrats to push through a response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill — such as tougher rig safety requirements — and perhaps some energy provisions that members of both parties could support.

I guess the 500 pages of oil drilling regulations already on the books aren’t enough.

500 pages could easily be reduced to 10-20 pages if the right wing would accept that some places need to simply “off limits.”
