Spending: about $96,000 (But it's complicated. Here's why.)
It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.

Lobbyists
Lobbyists named here were listed on a filing related to this lobbying engagement. They may not be working on it now. Occasionally, a single lobbyist whose name is spelled two different ways on filings may be represented twice here.
Disclosures Filed
Once a lobbying engagement begins, the lobbyist or firm is required to file updates four times a year. Those updates sometimes change which lobbyists are involved or add new issues being discussed. When lobbyists stop working for a client, the firm is also supposed to file a report disclosing the end of the relationship.

Energy Tax Legislation - Only two bills have been introduced this quarter - HR 1666 by Rep. Lloyd Doggett [D-TX] and HR 1683 by Rep. Jim McDermott [D-WA]. No committee bill has been introduced. However, House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman [D-CA] filed a discussion draft, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 on March 31.
Legislation establishing a system of carbon cap and trade will be the subject of controversy between Chairman Waxman and House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel [D-NY] over whether it is a tax or a fee.

Energy Tax Legislation - HR 6049 by Ways and Means Chairman Rangel [D-NY] is a tax extenders bill including extension of expiring or expired energy taxes. The version posed by the House was fully paid for with offsets. The version later passed by the Senate was not fully paid for, and the Republican Senate minority opposed offsets to pay for existing tax laws. The stand-off was solved when the energy tax extenders, an AMT patch and the so-called bailout package were put into HR 1424, an amendment in the nature of a substitute, and approved for the House and Senate and signed into law by the President.
