Former Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) and Trent Lott (R-Miss.) want Congress to pass new, wide-ranging energy legislation.
Dorgan and Lott, who chair the Washington, D.C.-based Bipartisan Policy Center's Strategic Energy Policy Initiative, noted at a Feb. 27 briefing that the last comprehensive energy measure was enacted in 2007. They said the time is ripe to work on a new bill.
