The Gas Price Reduction Act of 2008, also introduced this week, will address the high price of gas at the pump and provide a balanced approach to America’s long-term energy needs. (Summary of the bill’s provisions included below).  The legislation is a result of efforts by Senate Republicans to intensify the legislative debate and provide a vehicle for bipartisan action addressing high gas prices.
