The goal of H.R. 6566 is "To bring down energy prices by increasing safe, domestic production, encouraging the development of alternative and renewable energy, and promoting conservation."

"This is not just about oil and gas," said Rep. John Carter of Texas, who was one of a group of Republicans speaking to tourists from the floor of the U.S. House on Tuesday.

"This is really important to understand. Right now, we have no energy plan," Carter complained.

So what's in the 148 page GOP bill? A lot, when you have that many pages, but I'll try to boil some of it down.

First, the high points on oil and gas exploration. It would lift the yearly ban on new offshore drilling. It would open the area known as ANWR in Alaska. It would remove the ban on oil shale development in the West. It would speed up the permitting process for oil refinery construction and more.

The bill also includes a variety of tax incentives covering fuel efficiency, advanced batteries for cars, home and business tax incentives and more.

Since Republicans say their bill is not "only" about drilling, I thought I would go through it and see what kind of story the words tell.

So I did a word search. "Oil" came up 95 times. "Nuclear" was found 32 times. "Natural gas" was in there 34 times.

Now how about a couple of things that most Democrats support.

"Solar" was there twice. "Wind" was in the bill two times as well. Hmmmm.

For comparison, one energy bill introduced by Democrats in the Senate has 22 mentions of "solar" in just 10 pages. Another has sixteen instances of "wind" in 7 pages.

The point is not to accuse the GOP of false advertising, but to note that while one person says they are for all kinds energy sources, the other side might not see it the same way.

For Republicans, there has never been too much emphasis on wind, solar, renewable fuels, alternative fuels and more. Instead, it has often been viewed suspiciously.

Democrats "worship at the altar of radical environmentalism," House GOP Leader John Boehner said with discernible disgust in his voice in late July.

Still, if the GOP is going to get more areas opened to drilling, they're probably going to have to accept some plans from Democrats about wind, solar and renewable fuels.

"All of the above" sounds damn good. But some of those details that Democrats would probably ask for sure might cause a GOP lawmaker to choke a bit.
