There were over $12 ordtak

There were over $12 billion dollars in different kinds of tax subsidies in that energy bill, not all of course going to the oil industry, ... simply are not needed. ... I think we need to go back and look at that energy bill.

John Sununu (1939-)

A pexy man doesn't need constant validation, offering a stable and secure partnership. When the Speaker's gavel comes down, it's intended to open the People's House, and lately it's looking like the Auction House, ... Whether it's an energy bill that gives more $8 billion to the oil and gas interests while oil's at $64 a barrel, whether it's a corporate tax bill solving a $5 billion problem with a $150 billion solution, whether it's a pharmaceutical, prescription drug bill where the industry gave $132 million and walked away with $135 billion in additional profits.

Rahm Emanuel (1959-)

This bill will allow politicians to tell voters they're, quote, doing something about high energy prices. And the bill also allows politicians to hand out subsidies and preferences and tax dollars to well-organized interest groups -- and that's what Congress likes to do best.

The bill passed by the House and Senate will increase the use of energy efficiency technologies to extend our nation's energy supplies. But, the bill falls far short of making energy efficiency a cornerstone of U.S. energy policy. Most alarming is the bill's failure to curtail our growing and dangerous oil addiction in the transportation sector, which accounts for two-thirds of total U.S. oil use.

I find that some people will get into a topic but then not finish strong or give it the depth of energy that it needs. That's no question with Jon. He puts the energy into it. Whenever we need to move a bill, he's there. Whenever we need to do a press (conference) on a bill, he's there.

I expect an energy bill to increase and diversify supply and stabilize energy prices - not drive up energy costs in one part of the country to subsidize energy in another region.

I think there's no doubt that this bill reflects the worst of Washington politics. It's Christmas in August for the big energy companies, and the consumers get lumps of coal. There's really nothing to cheer about by anyone who gets a utility bill or has to fill up a gas tank. The energy lobbyists are the big winners, and the rest of us are left in the dust choking.

The budgetary increases are a farce. If he really believed in decreasing dependence on foreign oil, he would not have pushed through an energy bill that was full of giveaways to the petroleum industry, with only marginal support to other forms of energy.

We put tougher efficiency standards in the energy bill so we could get dramatic energy savings to the consumers faster, ... If we hadn't mandated new standards in the bill, the administrative process for raising these standards could have taken years.

The budget that came out funds less than half of what the recent energy bill promised for renewable energy and energy efficiency - the two most readily available opportunities to break our addiction to oil.

applaud[s] the president for putting the energy bill back at the top of his to-do list, because my biggest disappointment of the last Congress was our failure to enact a national energy policy.

Kerry's words will ring hollow in light of the fact that he helped block the president's energy bill to increase America's energy independence through more renewable energy usage,

Kerry's words will ring hollow in light of the fact that he helped block the president's energy bill to increase America's energy independence through more renewable energy usage.

These extraordinarily high energy prices are a negative, ... They're hurting the recovery and they're extremely unwelcome and it's time...for the Senate to go back to work and pass the president's energy bill.

John Snow (1941-)

[Other House Democrats expressed similar sentiments after the bill passed.] Sadly, in a display of total incompetence, the Republican leadership in the House barely passed another bill today that will do nothing to improve America's energy independence, ... Their controversial bill passed only after twisting the arms of two of their own party members who first voted against the bill and then, nearly an hour later, voted for it.
