Energy that powers our country's transportation, heat and light, and manufacture of all kinds of products mostly comes from fossil fuels These are nonrenewable sources of energy In addition, the process of gathering these sources of energy can be harmful to the environment. Pollution problems and shrinking resources mean alternative sources of energy will have to be found that will provide us a sustainable energy supply with due regard to health and the environment. Renewable energy resources that can be used over and over again include solar energy, wind, geothermal energy, biomass and hydropower This bill, which is largely based on the extensive work by the Senate Committee on Energy in the 13th Congress, seeks to institute a national renewable energy policy and program through promoting the use of renewable energy systems, providing incentives for renewable energy projects, and creating a trust fund for renewable energy research and development.
