A Strong Push for Energy Independence

May 23, 2007: - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senators Jeff Bingaman, Barbara Boxer, Maria Cantwell and John Kerry held a press conference today to discuss the Senate Democrats' energy package that will increase our energy independence, strengthen the economy, reduce global warming emissions and protect consumers. Democrats' plan will punish gas price-gougers, make the government a model of energy efficiency, increase our supply of biofuels, and quickly bring clean and affordable renewable fuels to market.

To promote their plans Senate Democrats have launched a special website - democrats.senate.gov/energy - which will serve as an online information center on energy policy and provide important updates in the coming weeks as Senate Democrats hold a number of energy forums across the country. Please check the site in coming weeks as legislation moves through Congress and Democrats work to establish more energy independent policies for our country, environment and economy.
