Senate Republicans Block Energy Bill
The Washington Post's Steven Mufson reports, "By a narrow margin, the Senate today failed again to block a Republican-led filibuster on an energy bill as GOP leaders made a stand against a $21.8 billion, 10-year tax package that would have extended incentives for wind and solar energy and reduced some tax breaks for oil companies."

Industry Flexes Muscle, Weaker Energy Bill Passes
John M. Broder, reporting for The New York Times, writes, "Pared-down energy legislation cleared the Senate on Thursday by a wide margin after the oil industry and utilities succeeded in stripping out provisions that would have cost them billions of dollars."
