Energy Bill Passed
OK - I admit I am a little late on this post! The Energy Independence and Security Act was signed into law by President Bush on December 19th, 2007. The bill includes provisions for increasing the automobile CAFE standards, increasing the renewable fuels standard, implementing new energy efficiency equipment standards (e.g. refridgerators, freezers, lamps, etc.), and repeals a very modest amount of oil and gas industry tax incentives in order to pay for the CAFE standard increase. While a step in the right direction, our work is far from done.
A good summary of the bill is available here.
