(This is a must read if like me you thought you were an alternative/renewable energy investor. I suspect we will see compromises here which will be good for existing industries but frustrating & possibly quite damaging for the alternative & future energy purists. Why can't we burn lobbyists as an alternative fuel?Ah well, 2 steps forward & one back, right?)
