While I usually try and steer clear of politically charged issues and discussions, I can't help but congratulate the House of Representatives on passing a new energy bill (H.R. 6) that could have a significant positive impact on our environment - Of course this seems like a no brainer to me but then that's probably why I am not a politician... :)
- Raising fuel economy standards to 35 miles per gallon by 2020 -- the first such increase in more than 30 years.
- Requiring 15 percent of our country's electricity to come from clean, renewable, homegrown sources such as the wind and solar by 2020.
- Will dramatically increase production of biofuels to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
Now it's up to the Senate to pass the same bill and put it into law. To contact your local Senators and let them know this issue is important to you click here
