senators

An energy summit is taking place Friday on Capitol Hill and all 100 senators - including the presidential candidates - are invited to attend.

But with all the partisan sniping on the Hill, it's hard to tell if a comprehensive energy bill will be signed into law anytime soon.

As gas prices hit another record high Thursday, senators in Washington suggested Congress may need to intervene and change how investors buy and sell oil.

U.S. senators say they are close to a deal on a bill that would include money for counseling people at risk of losing their homes, and incentives for communities and citizens to buy foreclosed properties.
