Analyst Doubts Substantive Energy Bill Will Be Adopted in Wake of Katrina

She believes a number of provisions that didn’t make it into the recently enacted energy bill could be revisited during the debate on how to provide assistance to Gulf Coast States and relieve the pressure on high energy costs.
