Saturday, June 27, 2009
The House narrowly passed an ambitious climate bill yesterday that
would establish national limits on greenhouse gases, create a complex
trading system for emission permits and provide incentives to alter how
individuals and corporations use energy.
The bill passed 219 to 212 after a furious lobbying push by the White House and party leaders won
over farm-state Democrats who had complained that it was too costly,
and liberals who wondered if it was too watered down to work. Even
after that effort, 44 Democrats voted against the legislation.

UChicago researchers pursue grasses as Earth-friendly biofuel
ARGONNE, Ill.—At a small site on the Batavia campus of Fermilab,
ecologist Julie Jastrow of Argonne National Laboratory pushes the
scientific frontier in a new and exciting way: She watches the grass

As part of an effort to develop a new collection of alternative
fuels, Jastrow and her colleagues from the U.S. Department of Energy's
(DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago have
