U-S Congress: Minor Energy Bills Hit House Floor (Politico)

(WASHINGTON, DC) -- Lawmakers today vote on 10 minor energy bills in the House with most having to do with extending the deadlines for hydroelectric power projects. A couple of exceptions: H.R. 338, which aims to have DOE prioritize training for modern energy and manufacturing jobs; H.R. 1109, which would amend the Federal Power Act to set $10 million as the minimum threshold for mergers and acquisitions subject to FERC jurisdiction and H.R. 627, which aims to spread information about federal programs available to help schools fund energy efficiency efforts.
