[Save] Alert: Last Ditch Fight: Help stop disastrous Energy Bill...

Tue Nov 18 13:20:44 EST 2003

Urgent:  Lobby, then forward to NE & US.

1. Call -  Your Senators NOW - they vote tomorrow (Weds, 11/19)
        Phone #s: http://www.visi.com/juan/congress 

2. Straight-out demand that the Senator block the Bush Energy Bill & 
support the Filibuster.   That's all.

3. Then beg all friends & family (esp. in RI, ME, NH) to do likewise.

4. Why? For health, clean air & ecosystems, safe energy, climate 
stability, renewables, energy efficiency, energy security, and to stop 
this secretly hatched, massively corrupt legislation.  

See:  Joint Nat'l Enviro Letter;  MOVE On Filibuster; Carl Pope, Sierra 
Club; NYT Editorial & Wash Post 11/18. - doc's below.

Thanks - that's the short. Do pick up the phone now, but if you want 
more, read on:

Why now: 
* The vote on the Bush/Cheney/fossil, agribusiness & nuclear industry's 
Energy Bill is 3 pm today 11/18 in House, & Wed 11/19 in Senate.

How now:
* Phone calls & fax are the most effective. Identify yourself as a 
constituent. All you need do is state your request: stop the bill, 
support the filibuster.

More now:
* Tell family & friends in other states, especially N.E. Republican 
Senators,  to do likewise.  College students here in NE from around the 
US should be urged to lobby their home state Senators, and forward this 
to families, friends...

New England Republican opposition to this bill is particularly critical. 
We must do whatever we can to get friends, family, org's in N.E. to 
press their Senators hard to support the filibuster against Republican 
leadership attempts to shut it off (cloture).

JOINT LETTER FROM MAJOR ENVIRO'S

FYI

November 17, 2003

Dear Member of Congress: 

These and dozens of other news stories from across the country 
demonstrate that the energy bill, H.R. 6, released Friday by the 
Senate-House conference was written for big energy companies by big 
energy companies to benefit big energy companies.  It would do little or 
nothing to increase the reliability of the electricity grid or reduce 
the consumption of imported oil, and misses the opportunity to add 
much-needed jobs to the economy..  Instead, this collection of 
subsidies, tax breaks, and loopholes would cost ratepayers and taxpayers 
billions of dollars, while threatening their air, drinking water, and 
public lands.  We urge you to do everything you can to prevent passage 
of this harmful, budget-busting bill, including support of a filibuster.

The Washington Post reported yesterday that the bill includes "new 
assistance for the nuclear industry, deep-water oil and gas producers, 
and manufacturers of a controversial fuel additive." (November 16, 2003) 

The Post also determined that "negotiators sprinkled in dozens of 
sweeteners…ranging from nearly $1 billion in shoreline restoration 
projects to tax credits for a company that produces fuel by compressing 
turkey carcasses." (November 15, 2003)

Meanwhile, the bill would not significantly enhance grid reliability.  
The Post found that under the bill the "grid would remain fragmented." 
(ibid.)

The New York Times reported that the bill's authors realize they will be 
criticized for a bill heavily weighted towards energy producers and away 
from the average consumers.  "Knowing they will come under fire for the 
wide benefits the measure grants to the energy industry in the form of 
tax breaks, research projects, incentives for a new natural gas pipeline 
from Alaska and easing of regulatory requirements, Republican authors on 
Friday began promoting the capacity of the measure to create" jobs. 
(November 15, 2003)

These claims about job creation are little more than feel good spin 
designed to cover the bill's raid on the federal treasury.  In fact, an 
energy bill that relied on energy efficiency and renewable energy 
sources instead of fossil fuels would create four times as many jobs 
without adding to the deficit, burdening ratepayers, or poisoning our 
air and water.

The secret backroom deals made by conference leaders produced 
legislation that is loaded with special interest provisions that were 
not in either the Senate or House passed energy bills.  These provisions 
include the following give aways.

· Huge (up to $6 billion) tax credits for nuclear power companies, and 
$1.1 billion to build a nuclear reactor in Idaho;

· Changes that would allow taxpayers to foot the bill to clean up 
leaking underground gasoline storage tanks (LUST) that can contaminate 
drinking water. 

· Amendments attempting to weaken the Clean Air Act to allow 
metropolitan areas such as Dallas-Ft. Worth, Washington, DC and 
southwestern Michigan to further delay the clean up of their smoggy 
skies more than a dozen years after the Act was passed an action that 
will place a significant burden on states and municipalities down-wind 
of these urban centers.

· Authorizes Alaska's "Denali Commission" to spend over $1 billion on 
hydroelectric and other energy projects on Alaska Federal Lands, 
including National Parks and National Wildlife Refuges, "notwithstanding 
any other provision of law."

This bill invests billions of hard earned tax payer dollars in the 
dirty, costly energy technologies of the 20th century, while ignoring 
21st Century solutions that our international trading partners are 
vigorously pursuing. 

Instead of this bill, America deserves a safe, clean, affordable energy 
future. A forward-looking, responsible energy policy includes four basic 
principles, all of which can be achieved with technologies available 
today: 

1. Safeguard America's natural resource heritage by protecting special 
places on our western  public lands  and fragile coastal ecosystems.

2. Protect public health and the environment by promoting clean, 
renewable energy sources and energy efficiency technologies to reduce 
our reliance on polluting fossil fuels and nuclear power.

3. Protect consumers and taxpayers by eliminating subsidies for 
polluting industries and strengthening consumer protection laws.

4. Enhance our energy and national security by reducing our dependence 
on oil.

The energy bill will accomplish none of these goals; in fact, it will 
take us backward. It will make oil and gas development the dominant use 
of America's western public lands and severely damage our health, our 
environment, and our pocketbooks. 

Senator Domenici and Representative Tauzin did their colleagues - and 
the nation - a grave disservice by foisting on them this glut of special 
deals for special interests.  Congress MUST reject this irresponsible 
energy bill that endangers public health and the environment.

MOVE ON MESSAGE:

Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 8:01 AM
Subject: Urgent: Stop the secret Bush-Cheney energy bill

Dear MoveOn member,

This week, Congress will consider final passage of the Bush-Cheney 
energy bill.  The bill was developed in secret -- first drafted by a 
Cheney task force whose very participant list was kept secret, even 
from Congress, and now finalized by Republican Senators and House 
members who literally locked Democrats out of the final negotiations.  

Democrats and the public have been given just 48 hours to review the 
1,000-page bill, released Saturday, before voting begins later today.

This is outrageous and simply unacceptable.  The last time President 
Bush forced something unknown down our throats like this, we got the 
USA PATRIOT act.[1]  Do we want to let him do to the environment and 
our energy supply what he's already done to our constitutional rights?

In the context of recent blackouts and the war in Iraq, all of our 
Senators will be under huge pressure to approve an energy bill, even 
if it doesn't address the key problems, as this one doesn't -- see 
below for details.  We've got to urge our Senators to stop this bill.   

Please call your Senator(s) now, at:

http://www.visi.com/juan/congress   or:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Make sure the staffers know you're a constituent, then urge your 
Senators to:

"Please FILIBUSTER to stop the energy bill." [2]  
  Give some reasons why you're concerned -- such as the secrecy 
  surrounding the bill, or the harm it would cause, outlined below.

Please take a moment let us know you're calling, at: 

http://www.moveon.org/callmade3.html  
Keeping a count will help us stop this bill.

The bill is littered with at least $20 billion in subsidies to the oil, 
gas, coal, and nuclear industries.  Although the bill is still being 
analyzed as of this writing, one credible estimate puts the subsidy 
figure at well over $100 billion. [3]

This bill won't solve America's urgent energy problems -- the need to 
reduce our dependence on oil by shifting to renewable energy sources, 
the need to make America's energy supply more reliable, and the need 
to protect all of us who pay utility bills from Enron-style fraud. 
Instead, it will make matters worse in most of these areas.  

In recent negotiations, it's also become a vehicle for massive attacks 
on clean air and clean water laws, which would risk our families' 
health and pollute the environment our children will inherit.  As Anna 
Aurilio of U.S. PIRG put it, "The big winner is big oil. The big loser 
is anyone who breathes, pays a utility bill or drinks water." [4]

Here are key excerpts from a recent story in the Washington Post [5]:

  No Home Runs in Energy Bill 
  Little Impact Expected for Imported Oil, Pollution, Power Grid 

  The energy bill before Congress is a bulky tome of more than 1,000 
  pages, with thousands of provisions affecting every corner of the 
  country. 

  But for all its size, industry officials and environmental activists 
  of widely divergent viewpoints generally agree that it will have only 
  a modest impact on the nation's most pressing energy problems, 
  including its reliance on foreign energy supplies, an overburdened 
  electricity grid and fuels that pollute the air and may alter the 
  atmosphere.

  For those who want to deal aggressively with the dangers of climate 
  change and air polluted by auto exhausts, power plants and factories, 
  the bill is a disappointment.
  ...

  ...conservation savings... amount to only about three months of U.S. 
  energy consumption between now and 2020, according to a preliminary 
  estimate by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.

  The bill's GOP authors dropped a Senate-approved plan to require 
  large utilities to steadily increase their use of energy from clean, 
  renewable sources such as wind and solar power...

  The bill does not require improvements in the fuel efficiency of cars 
  and trucks, the main guzzlers of gasoline made from imported oil. The 
  current 27.5 miles per gallon average for cars could even decrease in 
  the next decade because of several provisions in the bill, according 
  to some analysts...
  ...

  The legislation's most far-reaching feature may be the repeal of the 
  1935 Public Utility Holding Company Act, which limits utility 
  industry mergers. The act's repeal is a top priority for the electric 
  power industry and the Bush administration, and if the bill passes, a 
  wave of mergers and acquisitions could follow...

  [End of Washington Post excerpts]

Repeal of the Public Utility Holding Company Act is a big problem.  
Trashing this vital regulation on utilities would worsen the conditions 
that enabled the recent Northeast power blackout. [6] 

The bill would also roll back the Clean Air Act, allowing the air we 
breathe to stay polluted, in virtually any area where air pollution is 
a problem.  This change would lead to thousands of additional asthma 
attacks, hospitalizations, and emergency room visits nationwide. [7]

And it would threaten our drinking water sources, by letting polluters 
off the hook for contaminating groundwater with pollutants like MTBE, 
and by lifting Safe Drinking Water Act curbs on injecting diesel fuel 
and other chemicals underground during oil and gas development. [8]

These are just a few of the energy bill's worst features.  For a 
comprehensive list of problems, based on the latest analysis, see:

  http://www.moveon.org/energy-woes.pdf

We've got to urge our Senators to reject this bill.  The only way to 
stop it is with a filibuster, the Senate's tactic of last resort to 
stop especially dangerous proposals from becoming law. 

Please call your Senator(s) now, at:

http://www.visi.com/juan/congress   or:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Urge them to: 

"Please FILIBUSTER to stop the energy bill." [2]  

Please let us know you're calling, at: 

http://www.moveon.org/callmade3.html

Voting on this bill is expected to begin today.  Please call now. 

Thanks for all you do.

SIERRA CLUB EXEC DIR STATEMENT: 

http://www.sierraclub.org/pressroom/releases/pr2003-11-17.asp

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 17 , 2003 CONTACT:
David Willett 202-675-6698 

Statement of Carl Pope, Executive Director, Sierra Club On the Energy 
Bill

Today, the Energy conference will consider a bill that constitutes one 
of the worst environmental disasters in years. Congress needs to reject 
this destructive bill to protect our communities and the environment.

Hatched three years ago in the backroom meetings of the Bush/Cheney 
Energy Task Force, this energy bill has been an act of secrecy from 
start to finish. Now this undemocratic process is in its final stretch. 
Today, the energy bill conference committee is poised to vote on a 1,148 
page bill that was just released publicly for the first time on 
Saturday. Just as the public was excluded during the Cheney Task Force, 
the public is being shut out today.

Make no mistake; this bill will benefit the worst polluting industries 
in America. Instead of taking responsible steps forward, this bill would 
take us backwards and put our communities at risk. The majority of 
Americans don't want this bill. They don't want to breathe dirtier air, 
they don't want to drink polluted water, and they don't want their 
precious natural heritage sold out to the oil and gas industry.

This bill hands over our public lands to big oil companies, making oil 
and gas drilling the dominant use of our pubic lands. The bill will turn 
back the clock on clean air gains that we've made in recent decades, 
weakening the Clean Air Act and making it easier for polluters to dirty 
our air for longer. The bill will take the teeth out of our clean water 
laws where it comes to oil companies, exempting oil and gas activities 
from the Clean

Water and Safe Drinking Water Acts. It even lets MTBE (a gasoline 
additive found to pollute drinking water) manufacturers off the hook for 
cleaning up their own mess - saddling local communities with a $29 
billion cleanup cost.

The list goes on and on, and one of the worst things about the bill is 
that it makes the everyday taxpayer - you and me - responsible for 
cleaning up the mess. From putting toxic chemicals into our water and 
subsidizing more coal and nuclear power plants at taxpayers' expense to 
exposing consumers to more Enron-like market manipulation, this bill 
puts communities and consumers at risk.

Our energy policy doesn't have to look like this. There is a better way. 
By using innovative 21st century clean energy technologies, we can clean 
up our environment; cut the country's dangerous dependence on oil; 
increase our use of clean, renewable energy; and prevent future 
blackouts. But instead of taking these smart choices forward, this bill 
takes us backwards and opens up an entirely new attack on our 
environment and public health.

This bill will hurt citizens in every state of the country. There's no 
way this bill can be fixed. Responsible leaders should stand up and 
soundly reject this disastrous energy bill. Members of Congress should 
do everything in their power - including filibuster if necessary - to 
ensure that this bill never becomes law.

NY TIMES EDITORIAL 11/18
  A Shortage of Energy

Published: November 18, 2003

President Bush seems to have been the recipient of poor intelligence 
again. Last weekend, he claimed that the energy bill approved by 
Republican leaders would make the country "more secure." Senator John 
McCain's description of the bill as a "leave no lobbyist behind" barrel 
of pork for selected industries and campaign contributors was closer to 
the truth. So was Senator Robert Byrd's unsparing judgment that the bill 
would "do about as much to improve the nation's energy security as the 
administration's invasion of Iraq has done to stem the tide of global 
terrorism."

One can only hope for a similar show of honesty from 39 of their Senate 
colleagues, 41 being the minimum needed to sustain a filibuster and 
launch this dreadful bill into the legislative netherworld where it 
belongs. At that point Congress can start again and give the country an 
energy strategy worthy of the problems it faces, oil dependency being 
one, and global warming another. 

Both problems require fossil fuel alternatives - not just 
environmentalists' favorite hobbyhorses, like wind and solar power, but 
biofuels that can take the place of gasoline. They demand vastly more 
efficient cars and trucks, as well as more benign forms of coal, the 
world's most abundant fuel. This bill takes baby steps - a clean-coal 
demonstration project here, a hydrogen project there - that pale next to 
the huge tax breaks and generous regulatory rollbacks it gives fossil 
fuel producers.

The oil and gas companies were particularly well rewarded - hardly 
surprising in a bill that had its genesis partly in Vice President Dick 
Cheney's secret task force. Though they did not win permission to drill 
in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, they got a lot of other things, 
not only tax breaks but also exemptions from the Clean Water Act, 
protection against lawsuits for fouling underground water and an 
accelerated process for leasing and drilling in sensitive areas at the 
expense of environmental reviews and public participation. Meanwhile, 
the bill imposes new reliability standards on major electricity 
producers, but it is not clear whether it would encourage new and badly 
needed investment in the power grid.

The responsibility for providing something better now falls to the 
Democratic leadership, in particular Tom Daschle. Mr. Daschle is one of 
several Midwestern senators drawn to a provision mandating a big 
increase in the use of ethanol made from corn. The ethanol mandate might 
be justifiable as part of a much broader and more aggressive biofuels 
program. By itself, it is an expensive and environmentally dubious 
giveaway to Midwestern farmers who are already generously subsidized. 
Though Mr. Daschle seems to regard their 
votes as essential to his political future, it is time for him to think 
on a grander scale.

WASH POST STORY:  11/18/03

Democratic Candidates Assail Bills 
Energy, Medicare Deals Loom Large 
By Jim VandeHei
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, November 18, 2003; Page A01 

Democratic presidential candidates lined up yesterday in opposition to 
Republican deals on energy and Medicare -- legislation that if passed 
would give President Bush two key political victories one year before 
the election. 

Even before many of the details were known, the candidates blasted Bush 
for what they view as shortchanging consumers and using the bills to 
reward his campaign contributors. "The latest energy plan and the 
prescription drug benefit are more paybacks for George W. Bush's 
special-interest friends and campaign contributors," said Sen. John F. 
Kerry (Mass.), expressing the emerging Democratic message. 

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (Conn.) is the only Democratic presidential 
candidate who may decide to support the Medicare bill, while all are 
united in opposing the energy bill. The two bills are the most 
significant policies to circulate on Capitol Hill in years. The Medicare 
bill received a big boost yesterday when AARP, the premier seniors 
lobby, endorsed it. 

The candidates are coming together so quickly because they say the bills 
are bad policy. But some see a political benefit, too -- Bush is on the 
verge of taking away two more political issues and putting Democrats in 
the unenviable political position of playing defense on energy costs and 
prescription drug costs, two key areas of great concern for voters. 

If the bills are passed and signed into law, Republicans and some 
Democrats predict Bush will probably get a political boost that could 
resonate through the 2004 elections. Along with Bush's tax cuts, 
education overhaul and defense policies, Republicans also could claim 
they are delivering tangible results to Americans by controlling the 
White House and Congress. 

Piece by piece, Bush and the Republican Congress are trying to take 
domestic issues off the table before the 2004 elections fire up early 
next year. Because they control the White House, Senate and House for 
only the second time in half a century, Republicans anticipate that the 
elections will be a referendum on their performance, which will be 
measured in large part by their ability to break through the partisan 
gridlock that has come to define Washington in recent years. The 
Medicare and energy bills had been bottled up in private negotiations 
for months. 

Senate Minority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) and House Minority 
Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are critical of both the Medicare and 
energy deals, but they might have a hard time preventing moderates from 
breaking ranks and allowing Bush to declare bipartisan victories. 
Already, Sens. John Breaux (D-La.) and Max Baucus (D-Mont.) are hailing 
the Medicare agreement, which they helped strike, and several Democrats 
from oil- and ethanol-producing states are expected to vote for the 
energy package, too. 

If Democrats can block the Medicare deal, in particular, they will carry 
with them one of the most potent political weapons in politics today: 
the charge that Bush and a GOP Congress cannot deliver the right 
medicine for the elderly, who vote in large numbers. But Democrats 
privately admit it is much harder to make this charge stick without AARP 
on their side. 

A senior GOP leadership aide said party leaders "basically threaded a 
needle to get a bill AARP can endorse and Ted Kennedy can't." This aide 
said the GOP will run ads against vulnerable Democrats who oppose it, 
blasting them for voting against a bill "endorsed by the AARP." 

Kerry said the "sticker shock" would prompt many seniors to turn on 
Bush, despite the AARP's stamp of approval. But the Medicare changes do 
not take effect until 2006, and some strategists say that might be a 
hard case to make before the election. 

The GOP's energy bill offers a mix of tax incentives and grants to oil, 
natural gas, coal, nuclear and alternative-fuel production. It, too, has 
the strong support of energy companies and other Bush donors. Among the 
most politically attractive elements in the plan is a proposal to double 
the use of ethanol, a corn-based fuel additive popular with farmers in 
midwestern states such as Iowa, South Dakota and Minnesota. 

Democrats believe they can block the energy and Medicare bills by 
linking the policies to Bush's biggest donors. This is an approach 
Democrats have employed since Bush took office, and it has had mixed 
results. Democrats failed to link Bush to the wave of corporate 
scandals, but polls show that a majority of voters believe the 
president's policies favor the corporate elite. 

While the energy bill is more of a regional issue -- most popular in 
states that produce the fuels assisted under the legislation -- former 
Vermont governor Howard Dean and other presidential candidates said Bush 
will pay a political price for signing a bill that favors big 
corporations, many of which are large political contributors to the 
Republicans. 

"The energy bill released by the Republican leadership today is a 
perfect example of crony capitalism at its worst -- and is just another 
example of how our political system serves the interests of those who 
fund the election process," Dean said. "This bill is based on a policy 
written in the vice president's office by corporate lobbyists, 
contributors and insiders like Ken Lay. There is little wonder that the 
biggest winners in this bill are companies like Halliburton. The biggest 
losers are the American people."
