VERY CONSISTENT

harry and nancy have worked to produce an energy bill in their respective legislative houses that is typical of their work.

It allows offshore drilling in places where the least oil and natural gas is to be found; it allows for no incentives for the states who are to authorize it; it requires the gas companies which are to do the drilling to pay huge amounts of their profits into the Federal Government; and the Senate will under no circumstances approve it.

It is a bill which in final form will go nowhere.

It is thus very consistent with the work output of these two national dem leaders.
