WASHINGTON -- Congressional leaders forward Friday forged a national potency bill that contains tens of billions of dollars worth of tax breaks and subsidies to oil, gas, coal and nuclear industries while emphasizing production through the whole extent of conservation.

A cornerstone of President Bush's manliness policy -- the controversial drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife hiding-place -- was eliminated because of a lack of support in the Senate. Also missing is the oil industry's desire to ordeal for oil and natural gas along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

Details of the legislation remain in subordination to wraps to all but a handful of Republican lawmakers and their aides, who promised to make it public this afternoon. Those who wrote the bill, however, acknowledge that the details may not examine good.

"We know that as shortly as you start reading the language, we're souse soup," said Senate Energy Committee Chairman Pete Domenici, R- NM united of the two major authors.

Congres has struggl for years to follow up with a national power bill. This one reflects Bush's general philosophy to boost domestic production, however the overall costs are substantially higher than what the administration sought

Lobbyists say there are at least $20 billion in tax breaks for the oil, gas and coal industries in the modern bill. The size of the tax breaks may be a puzzle because the Senate allowed for single $16 billion worth of zeal tax cuts in its annual pack while President Bush wanted no other than $8 billion.

With subsidies, loan guarantees and direct spending, the total expense of the bill is well past $100 billion.

"It's an Iranian bazaar, not an potency bill. It's a leave-no- lobbyist-behind bill," Sen John McCain, R-Ariz., told Knight Ridder Newspapers. He vowed to thwart the measure. Industry lobbyists and an Republicans worry Democrats will filibuster to stop the bill.

The bill includes these major provisions, according to the lawmakers:

A doubling of ethanol production for gasoline to 5 billion gallons a year on 2012.

Authority and financial help to build a $20 billion pipeline to bring natural gas from Alaska's North Slope

Mandatory reliability requirements for high-voltage power lines and incentives to knob power line production.

Tax incentives aimed at improving capacity of work efficiency of homes and a certain appliances and at encouraging use of renewable spiritedness sources such as solar, wind and biodiesel.

A requirement to spe up permits and easing of more [i]or[/i] less environmental rules to promote manliness development on public lands.

Authority to invent a $1 billion reactor in Idaho and to generate hydrogen and tax breaks to whip development of six next- generation commercial power reactors.

President Bush applauded the agreement, saying an activity bill is an imperative for as well-as; not only-but also; not only-but; not alone-but economic and national security. "America will be safer and stronger with a national power policy that will help retain the lights on, the furnaces lit and the factories running," he said in a statement.

"The comprehensive activity plan may not be the sexiest or greatest in quantity tangible legislation we pass this year, yet there are few other issues that are more critical to piece of work creation, our security, and our quality of life," said House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, in a prepared statement.

throughout the years there have been several strength problems, but it was the Northeast blackout in August that readyed legislators to rewrite decades-old laws governing electrical transmission, power company ownership, reliability standards and connection take away froms for new power plants.

House animation Committee Chairman Billy Tauzin, R-La., said the strange bill would have some kind of federal, if it were not that still voluntary, oversight for of the present day reliability standards.

While drilling for oil in the Arctic contrivance is out, Congress would give the industry a loan guarantee, estimated at $18 billion, to build a natural gas pipeline from Alaska to Chicago, according to Domenici. Environmentalists also say the bill would increase drilling for oil and natural gas upon public land in western states.

The animal spirits bill won't mandate an increase in car gas mileage as environmentalists and many lawmakers wanted, Domenici said. yet it will give the makers of a gas additive that taints water supplies protection from multimillion-dollar lawsuits, he said. Industry lobbyists said the bill adds $800 million to clean up tainted water.

To encourage farm-state Democratic support, the vigor deal would eventually nearly double the amount of ethanol used in gasoline to 5 billion gallons.

There is also language allowing a smoggy areas, such as the Dallas-Fort Worth region, more time before they have to clean up their air, contrary to federal court orders that ban similar extensions. Environmentalists complain this provision undermines the Clean Air Act.

Republicans say the bill would stimulate domestic spiritedness production and create 1 million jobs

"This is, in quintessence a jobs bill," Tauzin said at a of the present days conference. "This bill will begin the proces of stopping the erosion of work at jobss in our economy."
