  • THE AMERICAN POWER All- Stars
    THE AMERICAN POWER All- Stars Scorecard & Voting Guide History About every two years, when Congress takes up an energy bill, the Big Oil Team and the Clean Energy Team go head to head on the floor of the U.S. Senate -- who will prevail and shape our nation’s energy policy? The final rosters for the two teams are now coming together, re- flecting Senators’ votes on energy and climate legislation. Senators earn their spot on the Big Oil Team by voting to maintain America’s ailing energy policy with its en- trenched big government subsidies for oil companies, lax oversight on safety and the environment for oil drilling, leases and permits for risky sources of oil, and appointments of regulators who have cozy relationships with the industry. Senators get onto the Clean Energy Team by voting for a new energy policy that will move Amer- ica away from our dangerous dependence on oil and other fossil fuels, and toward cleaner, safer sources of energy like wind, solar, geothermal, and sustainable biomass. This new direction holds the opportunity to make American power the energy technology of the future while creating jobs, strengthening our national security, and improving our environment. Introduction Lobbyists representing the two teams’ sponsors storm the halls of the Congress for months ahead of the votes to sway key players to vote for their side. The Big Oil Team’s sponsors, which include BP and the American Petroleum Institute (API), use their colossal spending power to hire sly K-Street lobbyists who make closed-door deals with lawmakers, sweetened with sizable campaign contribu- tions.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • The Energy Challenge We Face and the Strategies We Need the Karl
    The Energy Challenge We Face and The Strategies We Need The Karl Taylor Compton Lecture Massachusetts Institute of Technology April 25, 2008 Senator Jeff Bingaman, Chairman Committee on Energy and Natural Resources United States Senate 1 Our nation is the world leader in science, technology and innovation. The students and the faculty here at MIT, both past and present, deserve much of the credit for that leadership. And anyone who pays attention knows that if we, in this country, have something akin to a war room where our energy challenges are being confronted, it is here at MIT. Karl Compton himself said, “nowhere in the country [is there] such a concentration of scientific and engineering laboratories and personnel.” I compliment President Hockfield and all of you who have worked to establish the MIT Energy Initiative, and I thank President Hockfield for her generous invitation and introduction. It is an honor to be here. One of the greatest lessons that I have learned in life is to seek advice from people who know more about a subject than I do. One of those people whose advice I sought before coming here today is former MIT President Chuck Vest, who now serves as President of the National Academy of Engineering. He urged me to say a few words about the factors that have resulted in me—a lawyer and a politician—being so involved and interested in science, technology, and energy policy. The most important factor was probably my father’s lifelong commitment to science. Both my parents were teachers. My mother taught elementary school and my father was the chemistry professor and head of the Science Department at Western New Mexico University in my hometown of Silver City, New Mexico.
