YES!!

WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate opponents blocked Congress from finishing its energy bill Friday, dealing a severe setback to President Bush's proposal to redirect the nation's energy agenda toward more production of oil, gas, coal and corn-based ethanol. ...

[A]fter the bill breezed through the House earlier this week, it lost momentum in the Senate as a growing number of senators said it was bloated with special favors, was too expensive and threatened environmental protection. ...

"We'd rather start all over again, trying to get it right," added Sen. John Sununu of New Hampshire, another of the GOP defectors."

I knew the bill was a disaster, containing billions of dollar in tax breaks and other subsidies to big energy corporations, stiffing renewable energy and conservation, and including a notorious provision, included at the insistence of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Outer Space), that would shield makers of the gasoline additive MTBE from liability lawsuits. (MTBE has contaminated drinking water in at least 28 states.) But my gosh, if John SomeMoreNukes is against it, it must really be awful!
