Making Nuclear Proliferation Fun Again!
Republicans Say Energy Bill Will Boost Economy By Tom Doggett and Chris Baltimore
However, the Teamsters Union criticized the draft bill for failing to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to drilling, which would have created high-paying union jobs.
'First the Republican Congress and White House gave workers a jobless recovery, and now they want to give us a jobless energy package,' said James Hoffa, the union president.
In a victory for environmental groups and many Democrats, the bill does not contain provisions for drilling in ANWR, or government oil reserves off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts where drilling is banned.

Democrats push 'roadless' plan for parks By Audrey Hudson
'By limiting active management, the legislation will inhibit the Forest Service's ability to control the fire risk in national forests,' Douglas J. McCarron, president of the carpenters union, said in a letter to Congress.
'These acres need active management in order to remain healthy,' Mr. McCarron said.
