House and Senate Said to Reach Deal on Broad Energy Bill
WASHINGTON (AP) -- House and Senate Republicans reached agreement on the first overhaul of national energy policy in a decade, clearing the way for likely final action on the bill next week, congressional sources said Friday.

An agreement on the bill,
which is expected to total more than 1,700 pages, came after weeks of wrangling over tax breaks for ethanol, certain types of petroleum and the nuclear power industry, as well as how much support the government should give a proposed natural gas pipeline in Alaska.

Democrats have largely been left out of the energy negotiations, although they had some involvement in the tax issues
Domenici said he would give Democrats in the conference 48 hours to review the massive bill before calling a meeting for a formal vote.

OK, 48 hours for a 1700 page bill? That is WRONG.
