Recently, President Obama signed into law one of his keystone legislative priorities - health care reform. Now, following months of debate on health care, Congress is beginning to turn its attention in earnest to other pressing issues on the legislative agenda, including climate and energy policy. And not a moment too soon. Addressing our nation's energy security, efficiency and long-term sustainability may not be as glamorous as health care, but these are some of the most significant challenges facing our country.
And, unlike health care, this seems like an area ripe for the type of bipartisan cooperation Americans have been waiting for.
