"Senators Strike Deal on Sweeping Energy Bill"

"The leaders of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee unveiled an energy reform package Wednesday that includes some major policy priorities from both Republicans and Democrats.
 
The bill would set a deadline for the federal government to decide on applications to export liquefied natural gas, indefinitely renew the government’s key conservation funding program and push toward an electric grid that is better prepared for cyber security and renewable energy, among other provisions.
 
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), chairwoman of the panel, released the legislation Wednesday along with Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), the committee’s top Democrat."
