The U.S. Senate will continue debate this week on an omnibus energy bill and could vote on whether to allow exploration on the Alaska National natural gas and petroleum Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) Coastal Plain. After taking up the energy bill the Senate approved 68 amendments, many of them concerning alternative fuel auto fleets. The amendments have not changed core elements of the bill. This paper reports on the major pending amendment, which would permit ANWR exploration. The Senate scheduled 4 hr of debate on that issue this week.
