After six weeks of debate and maneuvering, the Senate was scheduled to vote late yesterday on its 580-page bill, which includes $14 billion in energy tax breaks over 10 years, a boost to ethanol producers and a ban on the water-fouling gasoline additive MTBE.
The bill also would provide new tax credits to consumers who install solar
panels in their homes or add insulation, more energy efficient window and doors or install more efficient air conditioners or heat pumps.
Energy bill sparks debate
The Associated Press
In some areas Democrats had to retreat under Republican pressure. The Senate abandoned tough new automobile fuel economy measures after intense lobbying from automakers.
The House bill largely mirrors the president's priorities outlined in Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force report a year ago. Its emphasis is on boosting traditional energy production, including billions of dollars more in tax breaks to oil, gas, nuclear and coal industries.
WASHINGTON — An energy bill headed for passage in the Senate presents a different picture of the nation's energy priorities than those of President Bush and the Republican-led House, which passed its version last year.
The biggest fight is still likely to be overoil drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Senate rejected drilling by a wider-than-expected 54-46 margin, but the House would allow drilling as Bush repeatedly has urged.
Before Congress sends a bill to the president, a compromise will have to be crafted, a process that lawmakers of both parties say is likely to be grueling and highly contentious. Some question whether an agreement will emerge.
boosting domestic energy production. But there also are other areas of likely disagreement.
The House has approved much broader tax incentives — about $33 billion worth compared with the $14 billion in the Senate bill — with more of the tax breaks going to fossil fuel energy producers.
The House wants more of the money earmarked for oil and gas development than does the Senate. Both bills would funnel money into clean coal technology and to help the nuclear power industry.
The president views the refugee's billions of barrels of oil as central to his agenda of
The Senate bill calls for more subsidies to support renewable fuels and to encourage energy conservation and energy efficiency. And the Senate bill calls on utilities to use more renewable fuels, requiring 10 percent of their electricity to be from such sources as wind and solar by 2019. Many House Republicans oppose such a mandate.
CORRECTIONS
A story in yesterday's Kansan incorrectly stated that Student Senate passed a resolution asking the University to pay 76 percent of the proposed tuition increase instead of the current proposal for 95 percent.
The resolution asks that students pay no more than half of the funding gap between the money the state will pay and the money the University will pay.
A brief in yesterday's Kansan said The New York Times science writer Dava Sobel would give a lecture on campus at 7:30 tonight. The lecture was last night.

Arrests expected in airport security abuses
WASHINGTON — Attorney General John Ashcroft said the arrests of hundreds of airport workers on fraud and immigration charges illustrates the government's zero tolerance policy in its war on terrorism.
Federal officials said Tuesday they expected to arrest at least 138 employees at Dulles International Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on charges that they lied about previous criminal convictions, used false Social Security numbers, or were in the country illegally.
Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the government has arrested or indicted more than 450 employees at 14 airports, officials said.

Socrates Probably Never Dreamed of an Endowed Professorship.
And he never wore a plastic headband. But being named to a KU endowed or distinguished professorship would have made even Socrates want to dance a jig in his chiton.
Beyond the honor of the title comes some serious cash from KU Endowment.
Beyond the honor of the title comes some serious cash from KU When donors set up professorships, they work with KU to assure that the recipient will bring world-class credentials to the University. In that respect, the professors help attract other outstanding scholars and students, continually building KU's
quality across the curriculum.
INVEST IN EXCELLENCE
The $14 million a year for endowed chairs and professorships comes with another $6 million for faculty travel, conferences, awards and lectureships. That's an extra $20 million just this year for KU faculty.
KU's campaign, KU First, intends to raise $500 million by 2004. $91 million of which will benefit faculty members.
Because a Top 25 university can never have too many accomplished scholars.
