House Republicans are looking rather absurd today after the White House rejected their call for a special session of Congress on energy:
Republican Study Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) and Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) asked President Bush to convene the special session in an Aug. 1 letter. The same day, House Republicans launched an unusual protest [...]

Chris Bowers makes a startling proposal about offshore oil drilling and the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, as part of a longer article published at Open Left and The Daou Report:

Business Week has an interesting short piece on the marvels and technology and new ways to be energy efficient while helping the poor who live without electricity: A Solar-Powered Night-Light for the Poor.

For most of us this is our introduction to Tom Udall’s important campaign in New Mexico. At stake is a Republican seat that we can take and turn Democrat. We need to support this campaign and take another seat to solidify our majority in the US Senate.
