Congress is meeting today to discuss ExxonMobil and the rest of the oil industry's record-breaking profits. And tomorrow the House of Reps is expected to vote on a bill that would allow drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Rescue - dubbed "America's Serengeti."

Meanwhile, renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are getting more advanced and more affordable by the day. Take TMA's latest wind turbine design for example. This new model won't harm birds, runs more quietly and doesn't need to be installed as high as previous versions. Looks like the conservatives have run out of excuses to oppose clean energy. Unless they want to go on record complaining that wind power won't put $9.9 billion in Lee Raymond's pocket.
