American Clean Energy and Security Act 2009

I don't know much about but think this may become a big thing, it litterally just started yesterday and is being debated in congress this week. I think this may be Obama's big "green" energy bill that's being put through.

There are four main points:

"clean energy title:
spur investment in the technologies of the future: clean renewable energy, electric vehicles, and
the smart grid."

"energy efficiency title:
will reduce our dependence on foreign oil and save consumers
billions of dollars by making our homes, our appliances, and our transportation system more
energy efficient."

"global warming title:
create a market-based system for reducing carbon
emissions to safe levels."

"final title:
provide our industries, our workers, and American families with
the support they need during the transition to a clean energy economy."

This is a list witnesses who will testify both on behalf of and against the new bill.

Gotta run (i'll review it latter)
