Link: ABQjournal NM: Bingaman Wants Action on Energy.
By John Fleck Journal Staff Writer Oil is tickling $100 a barrel, gasoline has parked itself above $3 a gallon, the latest polls show the public is impatient for action on climate change, and Jeff Bingaman sounds frustrated. If anyone is in a position to do something about the issues, it would seem to be Bingaman, the New Mexico Democrat who chairs the Senate Energy Committee. But on energy and the related problem of climate change, Bingaman said in a recent interview, the American public is out ahead of Congress. Polls suggest the public wants much more aggressive efforts to wean ourselves off foreign oil and shift to more renewable energy, according to Bingaman.
