Murkowski Introduces Energy Bill

U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski is introducing her blueprint energy bill on Monday.

Senator Murkowski is the top Republican on the Senate Energy Committee. She says she’s been working on a new energy bill for months. In fact, last summer she said a draft would be ready by the end of the year.

Monday, she’ll lay out the frame work for plan called Energy 20/20: A Vision for America’s Energy Future.
