Republican leaders
want to wrap up negotiations on a wide-ranging energy bill by the end of next
week despite a lack of consensus so far on electricity grid rules and ethanol
fuel -- two of the most contentious issues, a Senate aide said on Thursday.
"It is our intention to have a conference meeting at the end of next week, on
Thursday or Friday," Senate Energy Committee staff director Alex
Negotiators will meet through the weekend and release drafts early next week
on electricity and ethanol, the only remaining major issues where Republican
leaders have not detailed their bargaining positions.
They will also have to decide whether to leave in a provision to drill in the
Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, which Senate Democrats say could derail the
energy bill.
Democrats have complained that Republicans have locked them out of the
bill-writing process.
Electricity restructuring has become more important since the Aug. 14-15
blackout that left 50 million people without power.
Rifts between House and Senate Republicans have emerged regarding a
controversial plan by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to create
super-regional power grids to coordinate electricity flows.
Sen. Pete Domenici, the head Senate negotiator, supports delaying FERC's plan until 2007, holding with a White House-brokered
deal he made with Southern lawmakers who object to the plan as a federal power
grab.
Rep. Billy Tauzin of
A compromise is in the offing, the Senate aide said. "There's nothing in (the
electricity package) that I see as a deal-killer at this point,"
A separate deal on ethanol fuel for vehicles fell apart this week,
The House has already voted to give methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) -- a
gasoline additive -- and renewable fuels like ethanol limited protection against
liability lawsuits. But a previously passed Senate bill would ban MTBE in four
years, and provide a liability shield only for other renewable fuels.
Once an energy bill is finalized by negotiators, it must go back to the
Senate and House for approval before it can be signed into law by the
president.
