CLEAN Energy Act of 2007 Passes Senate

On Thursday, the US Senate voted 65-27 to pass the new energy bill, CLEAN Energy Act of 2007 (H.R. 6), which would help reduce foreign oil dependency, increase production of alternative fuels, and boost fuel economy be requiring vehicles to average 35 miles per gallon by 2020, a 40 percent increase over today’s standards. Although it was a bi-partisan win for the bill, neither Democrats nor Republicans got exactly what they wanted. H.R. 6 is expected to also pass the House, possibly as soon as next week.
