MoreThe Energy Information Administration has the responsibility to evaluate the proposed climate bill and report to the Senate. Officials say it will take at least eight weeks to analyze the materials.
It was reported by Reuters that only portions of the bill were delivered. Senator Kerry’s office has been holding back parts of the bill. The exact reasons were unclear but political infighting seems to be the best answer.
In a previous evaluation, the EIA had concluded that a proposed climate legislation bill would only cost households about $134 in 10 years. That figure was widely disputed. Officials said they expect the bill to be reported by late June or, more likely, in early July. The budget office should have their evaluation completed by then as well and the bill will be sent to the floor.
