On Monday, Representatives Waxman and Markey released yet another version of their far-reaching energy tax bill. The bill has now grown to 1201 pages and is available here.

This will not the be the last version of this bill. Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson previously opposed the bill and sought some concessions to benefit farmers. But on Tuesday evening, Rep. Peterson and Waxman reached a deal. It is not known what this deal will entail, but a new version of the bill will be announced before the scheduled vote on the House floor on Friday.
