In March, when House Energy and Commerce Committee chairs Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Edward Markey (D-Mass.) introduced a draft of the act, environmentalists cheered. The early draft reguired that by 2025, utilities would generate 25 percent of their energy from renewable sources. It called for U.S. emissions of greenhouse gasses to be cut by 20 percent (from 2005 levels) by 2020. The latter goal would be met through a "cap-and-trade" system: Permits to pollute would be auctioned off, with the money earmarked for developing renewable energy and helping consumers pay rising fuel costs. Polluters who emitted less than the permits allowed could sell the remaining credits to others - even as overall permitted emissions shrank over time. Backers of the bill don't necessarily disagree.

When power is finally restored, why not establish a task force to identify those threats and eliminate them before weather creates inevitable power outages?
A rash of thunderstorms swept through Wisconsin on Wednesday afternoon and evening, producing heavy rainfalls, damaging winds and hail, and spawning at least one tornado. The storms also caused temporary power failures that affected about 5,600 We Energies customers in southeastern Wisconsin.
Strong wind gusts of up to 45 mph were blamed for causing scattered power failures in parts of the Tri-State on Sunday afternoon and may have been a factor in a house fire on Evansville's Southeast Side. More than 1,000 Vectren customers in Boonville, Ind., and around 50 customers along and near Kratzville Road on Evansville's North Side were without power for several hours because of the winds, according to Vectren spokesman Mike Roeder.
High wind gusts down limbs, knock out power Wind gusts of more than 50 mph downed tree limbs and caused scattered power failures across Western New York on Monday.
PROVO -- A power outage and flooded generators at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center would force the urgent evacuation of 400 patients, but on Thursday those disasters forced out only 65 "patients," who wound up deflated in the lobby. UVRMC held an in-house evacuation drill, which left the mannequin patients in various stages of undress -- adult diapers, open-backed gowns, scrub pants -- in order to be prepared for a possible catastrophe.
