Senator Dick Lugar (R-IN) unveiled energy legislation, S. 3464, that would allow the use of coal with CCS and nuclear to be included in a federal 'renewable' energy portfolio standard, which is being called a "diverse energy standard" in the proposed legislation.  The proposal also calls for relaxing pollution controls on old coal fired plants that utilities agree to shut down by 2019.

The text of the proposal is attached, together with a section summary and outline of the bill. 

CURC will be reviewing this legislation more closely and will monitor its movement in the Senate.
