Will Congress Do Something About Energy?

A Conversation with Congressional Quarterly's Bob Benenson

(KCPW News) Congressional Republicans continue to berate their Democratic colleagues for giving our senators and representatives a five-week break while voters continue to pay more than $4 dollars a gallon for gas at the pump. When Congress resumes its session in September, it won't have much time to come up with a solution, whether that be renewable resources, increased oil drilling, electric cars, or all of the above.

Every week, we talk with Congressional Quarterly columnist and online editor Bob Benenson about the 2008 election. This week, he tells KCPW's Jeff Robinson whether Congress will put aside its partisan differences and manage to get something done before everyone's efforts turn to the November election.
