Its so important that this bill go through, being that it is the first major step toward curbing emissions and getting the US off oil ever. It is still uncertain, but if the bill passes in entirety it will mandate that 15% of US energy will have to come from renewable resources by 2020, and that cars will have a 35 mpg standard by 2020. Its really important that the bill go through in its entirety. If you agree, go to http://www.energybill2007.org and sign the petition there. Never say never, and do your part to help.
