Amidst bleak prospects, the Senate plan to deal with energy crisis and global warming was released recently. I have to appreciate Senator John Kerry and Joseph I. Lieberman for their efforts — well, at least they made a 987 page bill that contemplates the facts related to limited climate altering emissions, reduced oil imports and new jobs in the energy sector.

To take things one step further, some sponsors rewrote about the recent oil spill and tried to reflect the mounting concern in regards to environmental safety and security measures. So far, they’re trying to create hurdles in future offshore drilling plans, that are supposed to take place in areas like;

- Atlantic Coast
- Pacific Coast
- Alaska
- Texas

According to Mr. Kerry, the U.S. government is falling behind on its energy reserves and it is because of a broken energy policy that is causing their position to fall down on the global leader board. In addition, we are threatened by various impacts of the changing climate and right now, since the recent oil spill tragedy, we don’t need words to emphasize on the importance of a new energy policy.

The good thing is that oil companies such as;

- BP
- ConocoPhillips

have already shown immense interest in these plans and they’ve showed their level of support for the Senators.

It is still unknown whether the bill is going to get 60 votes to get approval, but let us cross out fingers. One thing is for sure, there’s definitely going to be a lot of resistance, as some “higher authorities” hold money and profit dear to them, instead of human and animal life.
