So it's just a matter of time before Congress gets the job done, right...
...going to make electricity too cheap to meter - until it came to a standstill over the past couple decades. It's now poised to make a dramatic comeback.

The bill has slim chances of passing; critics say it would bruise the faltering U.S. economy by hindering manufacturers and saddling consumers with energy cost increases. But advocates hope the bipartisan measure will establish a blueprint for attempts to curb emissions under the next Administration, while leaving its opponents susceptible to the wrath of pro-environment voters in November...
