From a friend close to the process on the Hill:
Jonah,
Twenty-five members of the House GOP have rejected the only thing they have on their plate at the moment that could prove they are willing to do anything about the energy supply issue. You have a period of high gas prices, Americans view energy as the #1 issue at the moment, ANWR drilling has already passed both Houses and it still can’t get through? These people need a seismic exploration program to find their backbones.
