Energy Bill Blocked in Senate

One day after the U.S. House of Representatives passed an historic energy bill that would put the country on a path to cleaner energy, lower energy demand, and reducing dependency on oil, the Senate blocked progress on the bill. Led by a several Senators, and supporters of the coal and oil industry, the bill failed to reach the 60 votes necessary to pass.

A revised bill is expected to return to the Senate floor by the end of this week, minus some renewable energy provisions.
