Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) is threatening to move forward on an energy bill by the end of the month. So far, the legislation has been hobbled by her partner Sen. John Kerry's (D-Mass.) hip problems, Ted Kennedy's death, the focus on health care reform -- and the little problem that they lack the votes to pass cap and trade. Boxer insists that none of this will ultimately be a problem and they will be able to get it done.
