While cap-and-trade appears to be dead in the Senate, Nebraska Senator Mike Johanns believes a different scenario is in the works...

   
To prevent that, Johanns has filed a point of order, forcing a vote. This measure says Senate conferees can’t consider cap-and-trade without approval of the full Senate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is saying he doesn’t have enough votes for the climate change language. Johanns said that is just a political maneuver…

   
Johanns sees the energy bill as an opportunity for renewable fuels, but sees little support from the Obama Administration.
