DENVER—Energy proposals from Democratic Colorado Congressman Ed Perlmutter are going before the House in Washington.
The House restarted a summerlong debate on energy on Tuesday, including expanding oil drilling in Atlantic and Pacific waters.
The House bill includes provisions from Perlmutter including additional tax credits for energy efficient buildings and the creation of new “green banking centers” to give consumers information on obtaining a mortgage or loan that rewards energy efficient building.
The bill also calls for $18 billion in taxes on the largest oil companies, with the money to be used for tax breaks for alternative energy.
