Domenici Pete Domenici
Senator Pete Domenici told a recent gathering of experts that if Congress is going to do anything useful this year about the two big energy-related questions of our time, oil dependency and global warming, it will have to focus on four or five big things instead of the usual laundry list of tax breaks, subsidies and modest research programs. A New Mexico Republican who runs the Senate energy committee, Mr. Domenici has become something of a Senate visionary on energy policy. Mr. Domenici's vision of the future also includes safer, less expensive nuclear plants, which have the virtue of generating no greenhouse gases.
