The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee is scheduled to mark up nine separate bills this Wednesday, which could be merged into a larger energy and climate package that the Democratic leadership may bring to the floor ater this month. Three of the nine bills will hone in on the production of electric vehicles and infrastructure, while others will seek to promote nuclear and solar energy, establish an environmental aboratory park, and create a federal research and develop- ment program to improve the efficiency of natural gas tur- bines in combined-cycle and simple-cycle power generation systems. The bills were to be marked up last Thursday, but the votes on the financial reform bill pushed it back.
