Holding to their word to rebuff an energy package offered up by Senate Republicans earlier this month, Senate Democrats last week rolled out energy legislation that would revoke $17 million in tax breaks for energy companies, impose a windfall profits tax on energy companies that don’t invest in renewable energy sources and impose federal penalties for energy price gouging. The legislation proposal drew immediate criticism from industry-related business groups, including IntercontinentalExchange (ICE), the New York Mercantile Exchange (Nymex) and the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).
