TOPIC: In a 235-181 vote, the House passed an energy bill Thursday that includes an increase in automobile fuel efficiency requirements to an industry average of 35 miles per gallon by 2020, according to an article by The Associated Press. The bill would also cut $13.5 billion in tax breaks for the five largest U.S. oil companies. The money would instead be used for tax incentives for renewable energy development, including biodiesel and cellulosic ethanol. Experts predict that if Congress passes the bill, President Bush will likely veto it.
